My father's future
My Mom passed away four months ago and my Dad after being married 71 years
couldn't get out of bed. "Failure to Thrive". We took him to the hospital. He came home and then fell down. 92 yrs old.
Didn't hit his head but couldn't get out of bed the next day. Sore.
911. Thirty days in Pt/Ot and he comes home.
His wishes are like my moms... expire in my home. Like my Mom did with Hospice.
OK... here is the problem.
He is a V.A. WWII combat vet and the VA has done a lot Home Based Primary Care.
They won't pay for In-Home care. Four hours per week. That's it.
So I hired a In-Home company to care for my father from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm.
Eight hours.
$28.00 dollars per hour and the man or woman that has no CNA/HHA certificates
(their are good people) gets $12.00 per hour.
Frigin' legal abuse of the men that spent an entire life saving money /*/
