My mother is 82 yrs old. She has heart, lung, and kidney disease. She has limited mobility and rarely gets out of bed. I care for her all by myself. I cannot work. I do not want my mother in a home, but we need financial assistance to make it work. She diesnt have much time left and she deserves to live comfortably and not worrabout bills. It is INSANE that there is NO help for us. Other ppl get compensated for caring for family members. Why cant we?
Why is your mother always in bed?
I am so very sorry you are having so much difficulty getting something arranged. Medicaid should really be your best resource.
This is the best i can do from an internet point of view, I hope it helps.

In-Home Personal Care
Helping seniors remain independent.
In-Home Personal Care Services serves hundreds of Bexar County senior citizens and disabled adults every year. When health issues prevent them from performing simple tasks, impair their mobility, or put their safety and well being at risk, their options may be limited. Some may move in with family members. Some go to nursing homes. Those who do not qualify for public assistance and cannot afford private care often face a serious struggle for independence. That is where Family Service Association steps in to lend a gentle hand.
Seniors who have the ability to remain independent in their own homes with the assistance of supportive services may receive up to 10 hours of direct service each week in the home for personal care and home assistance, including the following:
Meal planning and preparation
Light housekeeping, errands and correspondence
Assistance with the daily activities associated with living at home such as-- bathing, dressing and grooming, washing and combing hair.
A complete evaluation and assessment is conducted on the first home visit, with on-going supervision at least every 90-days. Follow up visits are scheduled to monitor client needs and to ensure continued appropriateness of services. Services are offered on a sliding fee scale that is based on the client’s ability to pay.
An excellent investment, the program can serve 100 clients for less than it would cost to care for 10 patients in an alternate care setting, for the same one-year period.
Funding provided by United Way, Client Fees, and Private Foundations and Corporations.
