My aunt took over care of my mentally ill uncle after my grandmother died in 2007, but now she is mentally and physically deteriorating. There is no family in there home town to take care of them and I fear for them everyday. My uncle is getting a disability check but my aunt can't physically take care of herself, let alone her mentally ill brother. Is there any help for them.
Assess aunts needs no mention re her age, possibly she needs to have assistance w application for soc sec disability or ssi.etc. Longterm care can be applied for for uncle through elder affairs even if not age eligible disability eligible since needs caregiver in home. If aunt just needs help this may solve need with aid or visiting nurse in home.
I suggest famy mem er to initiate alternative.
If placement is meeded the home may serve better as reverse mortgauge.
Or possibly gift to hospice for the two of them. In return for their care.
