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.
Get the ball rolling if you haven't already.
Best of luck!
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.
