Wow Sky!
I cannot believe the cost. It's overwhelming. I am lucky to have these services provided to me by my county.
I'd imagine that you've already tried for county assistance, but do not qualify due to assets or something. Is that right?
Anyway ~ I do have a PCA come twice a week to help with various tasks. The PCA can help with whatever, but my need is cognitive (recall, understanding, keeping on track...). I have a tendency to become overwhelmed and then my brain won't keep moving. The PCA then breaks things down to small levels. Keeps me in a small area, working on just one thing at a time, then moving onto the next task. I guess that's how I would describe the assistance. She can also take me to stores and keep me on task for shopping. That's my personal experience.
Best wishes to you!
