Hello, both of my parents are disabled due to strokes. My father is not able to communicate well due to the stroke. My mother has a hard time getting around due to her stroke. Recently, My mother had a bleeding ulcer and was hospitalized. Since then she is wetting the bed, fallen and unable to use her walker at all and is pretty much in her wheelchair 24/7. Both my parents are on disability for income and its under $2,500. Both of them smoke and drink constantly which is obviously effecting their health. Even after they both almost died from the drinking they continue to drink. They live in a trailer that is falling apart. my sisters and I need to get them out of the trailer and moved into some time of assisted living/rehab very soon. I am having a hard time finding resources in Wisconsin to contact. I know there are things out there! Any Suggestion would be great.
You may want to try calling Adult Protective Services, a county social service agency that gets involved when seniors are needing more care than they're getting (whether it's self-neglect or abuse). You could also call the local Area Agency on Aging for support: they have social workers and possibly case management to help you coordinate services. For list of some services in the area, go here:
