I work full-time, but this weekend we had a turning point. He is no longer able to walk. I have to consider the possibility of quitting my job to care for him full time. I cannot afford home aides even with the help of Medicaid. But I have bills, so just cannot quit with no income. I also have a heart problem atrial fibrillation. My Employer does not offer any family leave, however I have paid into temp disability. How do I go about getting a temp disability release?
I am so scared, frustrated and simply, just drained.
Start looking into skilled nursing homes for your dad. Start by speaking to his doctor’s office. They can put you in touch with a social worker that can walk you through the process.
Best wishes to you and your dad.
Get the ball rolling if you haven't already.
Best of luck!
