In-Home Caretakers Terrible, MCU Much Better

Hi @tsc, Is your husband a Veteran? We have a caregiver 7 hrs a day, 5 days a week paid for under the Veteran Directed Care Program. The intent is to keep the Veteran in their home. We found a wonderful caregiver who has become family to us. I realize how blessed we are to have found her. The nearest care facility is about 2 hrs from us. The nearest excellent memory care facility is almost 3 hrs away & has a waiting list. (I think all the facilities within about a 3 hr radius have waiting lists. It’s not unusual.) We had 2 small facilities in town. Both closed this last year because of staffing issues.

Hi @coping123, my husband is not a citizen, so not a Veteran.
I am so happy that thed VA was able to provide your husband and you with such good care and service.
Thank you for your message, and all the best!

Hi @coping123! I am most interested in the Veteran program your husband receives. My husband is a Vietnam veteran and I have not heard of any programs for at home care. How did you find it?
Thanks, @boppi

My husband is a veteran have him in a VA homenow but there are too many and too few and not so good CNA's. Not sure what to do next as most nursing homes are 5 to 10 thousand a month and too expensive for me
