I'm afraid the cutbacks will greatly affect the patient's care and they'll get less services. Our homebound patients and families depend on the nurses to help them live at home safely.

I can understand and may get tougher before it gets better, if it does, but thanks for your service, seriously! I would imagine that some of your clients consider you a serious blessing in their lives, and I do believe we reap what we so, in some kind of way. Thanks for your input! I have my own experiences, and know others in either/or consumer/caregiver roles whom unfortunately are saying similar things. But I know they keep trying, as you are! Take care!
