, thank you for sharing this lovely photo of your husband. He looks amazing, and quite happy! Do you have support that lets you get a reak now and then? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member) , I'm so glad to hear that. So often our caregiving members don't have support or respite. I hope today is a good day <3 - Warmly, Donna (Team Member) , just checking in on you both to see how you're both doing. Have you been able to get out and enjoy some of the sun and warmth? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
Up until 4 weeks ago I had a sitter. He left, snd now in waiting for Medicaid to give me hours for respite’and care.
, I'm sorry your help left. It's frustrating! There are a couple of other places you can reach out to in the meantime:

You can also contact your state Dept of Aging. All of them offer help in providing respite care for caregivers. I hope that helps. Please keep in touch and let us know how it's going. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
Thank you, just got Medicaid, and hospice palliative care. Have used the other organizations.
, I'm so glad to hear that you've gotten some help. Are things feeling more manageable now? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
