Elder Care Job in Manchester, New Hampshire

I'm an
Individual
My aunt and uncle live in Manchester, NH. He will be 90 the end of this month, and she is 85 and they live alone in their home. He has major mobility issues, eating issues, and is suffering from what appears to be dementia. He is incontinent, falls out of bed, has difficulty walking, and eating. (She mashes all his food and has to feed him.) His primary care physician retired and he didn't get a new one. Instead, he had been going to the VA Hospital, but because of his current condition, she can't get him into the car and travel is out of the question. My aunt has been caring for him herself, but it's getting very difficult for her. She is very spry, has extremely good cognitive ability, and is able to drive short distances, care and function on her own. However, changing the bedsheets, flipping the mattress, trying to get him to eat, and getting him in an out of bed is becoming very difficult for her. My husband and I live in Taunton, MA, which is about a two hour drive to their home. We get there as often as possible, but my husband has mobility issues and I'm having chemotherapy so we can't get there to help as often as we'd like. I would like any and all information you can give me on how Home Instead can help, including cost, and if this service is covered by Medicare. (and they have a supplement plan which I think is Blue Cross/Blue Shield) Your service was recommended to me by a friend who speaks highly of your company. Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail, and I appreciate any information you can give me. We are heading to Manchester today but I can be reached via this website, my e-mail address ([email protected]) or on my cellphone at: (508) 34.... Thank you again, Diane Penney-Brown
