Hi Susan, I just talked to the administrator of the Home Support and she said that there is 12 and 16 hour home makers available and NOT just respite available. When she is finally home she will need to be assesed from your local health care unit, and they will decide then. Your mom should be able to qualify for the 16 hour. How was she today? Did you say hi to her for me? Did you call Doreen for the Parkinson's support group? She mentioned tonight that there is a wonderful facility in Port Coquitlam. You would be able to live there also as it takes extended care, intermediate etc. She said if you not having any luck, she could give me some names of who to contact. Anyways, let me know how it is going. Jeannie K.
