MY husband and I are long-distance caregivers. We found a home care co. with this home care nurse/manager. She hired 2 black ladies for my father-in-law for around the clock. They are so nice that my father-in-law loves them although he is lonely because he lost most of his regular activities/ability to do the old stuff. My husband calls him twice a day. I hope the caregivers will stay us in the end. There is a possiblity that he may go to a skilled nursing home if they cannot handle it. We hope it won't come too soon. However the home care people also have their hangups - e.g., a sick father and a husband who needs medical attention. So we keep an eye open for the skilled nursing home. Hme care is also expensive.
