My mom was treated for Stage IV lung cancer that had spread to her brain back in 2012. While she’s been cancer free since her surgeries, chemo and radiation, she’s unable to take care of herself at all. She’s in a lot of meds, including pain medicine for her chronic pain and nerve from a lung surgery, and she also walks very very slow (takes several minutes to get from bed to connected bathroom), needs diapers because she rarely makes it to the bathroom, and regularly chokes or falls. She’s basically been on her deathbed... but for 8 years now. It’s very difficult, physically, emotionally and financially for my family.
Because she requires constant attention, my dad hasn’t been able to work for a few years now.
They filed bankruptcy from medical bills back in 2016 and moved to a very cheap area in North Carolina. They pay bills using only my mom’s SSDI, which isn’t much.
Are there any options for home aids that insurance pays for?
What happens with people in these situations? There have to be so many people in situations like this.
Any advice / resources appreciated. I’m at a loss for how to help as I’ve already helped financially as much as I can.
