Reply #7: Depending on the laws of the state, [View All]

[Midlodemocrat]

your friend's first wife may be eligible for Medicaid which would enable the state to send a companion for several hours a day. My parents had one who came for 4 hours every day to sit with my dad so my mom could get some errands done and clear her head a bit. Not a perfect solution, but certainly worth looking into.

Hospice might not take her on, because she is not currently terminal.

PM me if I can help you with this. Unfortunately, I have become sort of an expert on elder care.
