I am barely holding on to my job. I work nights, care for my husband during the day. He does get around some, but it prone to falls and some memory loss. We are barely making ends meets. Is there any help for spouses that care for thier own spouse? I see there are so many programs out there to help other causes, but what about those helping seniors, in this case a spouse caring for thier spouse? I need help and sound advice. WE do not have much on finances, after paying bills, and rent. We live paycheck to paycheck. Help....
IHS will assess your needs and based on income qualifications pays towards the disabled persons care (one friend gets 40 hrs per month, another more).
They are the daughter and wife respectively. They receive payment to either hire someone so they can work or they can perform services themselves.
What is wrong with the p;ace you are living in? if it is the condition of the building then you can report the landlord to city codes.
Has your husband applied for disability? Is he old enough for social security.
Are you over 55? you may qualify for public housing.
Pl;ease write again and share some more details if you feel comfortable doing that.
