I'm 75 years old and need to get a job to help pay for my husband's memory care. My husband has been in memory care for almost two years and is doing well. However, because of increased costs of care, medicines, etc and no increase in income, it is necessary for me to find a job to supplement our income. I am healthy and can work as long as I don't have to do a lot of walking or standing. Where can I go to find help in getting a job?
Check with local libraries; they sometimes have workshops and often have lists of jobs and can help guide you in online searches if you need that.
Perhaps you could be a receptionist at IL, AL, rehab or other facilities. Use that knowledge and maturity you've gained as an older to help you!
I'm assuming though that you haven't a broad working background. If you do have one, can you think of a way that you can get back in that field? Part-time work could be a starter that could lead to full time employment.
Surely in the Name of God there are certain special Cases where Your Health System in Your Great Country can grant a immunity in Your SPECIAL CASE. What is this World coming to ?
FriscoLady GO TO YOUR NATIONAL NEWS PAPERS AND OFFER YOUR STORY, AND LET THE HEADING BE CAN YOU HELP ME ? When decent People read that a Lady of 75 years of age needs to return to work to support Her Husbands Care...that will put an end to that Idea. FriscoLady I'm so sorry You find Yourself in this horrible situation, since Your place is by Your dear Husbands side. God Bless You, and Your dear Husband.
I TELL YOU THIS FOLKS, THIS WOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN IRELAND.
