You also need your time to yourself while you can still enjoy your life.

I appreciate the comment but the reality is that the best we've found is one aid per 10 residents. That works out to 6 minutes per hour and that's not enough to care for their needs.
I'm not staying we're opposed to...at some point...putting them in a facility and hoping for the best. It's just that *right now* we're not ready for 1/10th of an aid's time at this point. We're looking for skilled nursing, 1 on 1 care. (well...1 on 2 care but you know what I mean)
Assistance would be nice but we're fortunate enough to be working and can afford care. I am back to my original question....is there a resource out there for hard core skilled care at nearly any price?
Thanks again for the comments
