Dinah,
You do not indicate that you live in the USA.
Here most every state has home care agencys that work through either Medicare or Medicaid to help people stay in their own homes as long as medically safe.
Some of the things these people do are assistance with bathing, cooking and shopping, taking the person to the doctor, and light house keeping/laundary.
Most are based on income and are sliding scale. As for the personal care part(bathing & dressing), Medicare can cover a lot of these costs with an active diagnosis from MD and a recommend for rehab(PT/OT) or teaching of self care.
I have had experience with this and if you
are intersted, let me know...
Sounds like a tough situation to be in...
