I want to introduce a friend, Jean Voss, who is 53 years old, was diagnosed with PD in 1993, and lives in Orlando, Florida. Her major concern is how to get help in caring for herself. She can walk OK, although she has some vertigo, but her arms and hands are very weak. She is alone most of the time. Her insurance will cover a nurse or hospital care, but her problem is rather than medical care she needs help with the cooking, cleaning, and errands which she can no longer do. Jean cannot afford CNA/home health aid services. Does anyone have suggestions on how either she can overcome the arm weakness (best), or find a way to get the assistance she needs for daily living? Is there some form of public assistance or volunteers available? TIA, Bill Lang ([log in to unmask])
