I am the only child and my resources are streached thin. My father passed away last August, and my mother was extremely dependent upon him for cooking, driving and exterior home care. She's slowly starting to regain her independence, but not driving is a real issue for both of us. DART requires too much advance notice, the cabs are never available, and that community has no regular buses or transportation. My job is thinking of relocating me to San Diego from Dallas.
Finances is an issue.
However, I take care of my Grandmother who has Alzheimers. She currently goes to Adult Day Care which is paid for by Texas Dept of Human Services. She does not receive Medicaid. She receives Medicare. She is on a waiting list for Assisted Living from them as well.
