I care for my mother in law full time. Any help I get from her daughter usually ends in her mentally abusing her. I need a break but I don't trust her. We do not meet the criteria for aid do to income. We make too much yet we can't afford any help. I am at the end of my rope.
Has your MIL applied for Medicaid and been turned down?
Have you consulted with a certified eldercare attorney about how to get her qualified for assistance?
Plus everything Barb asked.
If this is the case, please consult an elder law/Medicaid specialist attorney that can help you get her the care she needs and you a break.
God bless you for caring for your MIL, may you find relief soon.
