Thank you for sharing!! My mother n law sad to say is selfish and self centered. She has a sister who lives 5 hours away whom she goes to for advice. Sadly, the know it all doesnโt know it all. Her sister told her that she doesnโt have to pay for sitter services. Well.., since writing this I contacted Council on Aging yesterday. Resource/social worker prompt me to call her insurance to see if they cover sitter services. If they donโt it becomes private pay. Which she is responsible to pay since she is the one needing services and I am here to assist her with living in her home. I called Humana Advantage who said sitter services are not covered and she must therefore use a private service where she is responsible to pay. I place call on speaker and my mother-in-law spoke to customer service rep who explained to her what she told me at which my mother n law replied, โOkay,โ and gave me back the phone. Well today she is upset not speaking to me. Guess her sister didnโt know it all after all. Being a care giver is complicated and stressful. Can someone say, burn out with family members interference....
Thanks again for sharing. I agree with you, โThe care for person should pay since her care from me is cost free.โ
