Father is 94...?
I had a friend who went through something like this, just before my own grandmother got ill. Had it not been for her, we wouldn't have checked into it.





Check with your father's doctor if possible for recommendations, but if not look up Home Health Care and Hospice in your yellow pages. Many of the "Hospice" programs also have another program that is just Home Health Care which gives transitional services for people who need some home health care help (and sometimes other home help) but are not yet ready for Hospice care. Surprisingly, most of the time at least some services will be covered by Medicare. If you have one of the services come out and do an evaluation, they can determine whether your father is eligible for Medicare coverage.





Edited to add that both my friend's mother's care and my grandmother's care were covered by Medicare.
Reply:i dont think so, but that's not for sure... check out medicare.gov
Reply:check with medicare also church groups the church groups can find a lot of info for you and very good seeing your father is doing great.
Reply:Of course, he has deseses and is sick.
Reply:No, I don't think medicare will pay for your father's home care, he would have to finance this for himself. Please contact medicare directly and get the real facts because I'm only speculating.
