I'm in Maryland and have medicare and medicaid. I also am on the
medicaid waiver. I'm approved for 6 hours a day. I don't use them
but they are there. I took advantage of more hours while I was having my
down time these last couple of months but still didn't use that many
hours. I don't need a baby sitter. Shes my friend and lives next
door so would come for a little bit in early afternoon and evenings for meals
and I have plenty of snacks stashed and a small cooler with drinks. I am
also in a pretty rural area but the care here still isn't any good.

Stacy,
What state do you live in? I live in a nursing
home myself in Florida and get really good care it is a rural area and
most of the staff are caring, down-home people that have a lot of compassion
and heart. I have been very blessed in finding this place.
Also, I sleep on a prescription air mattress
which eliminates the turning need - have you ever considered this?
Are you on Medicare/Medicaid? They should
provide HHA care workers for you if you qualify. I hope everything works out
for you, Stacy, best of luck.
