Hi-- you've had several suggestions-- I can say that we have a good
occasional helpewr who is MY "security blanket". She is employed, but does
home care part time as needed. I pay her $7.00 per hour. Our Senior Center
has a list of home caregivers for hire--you have to check references etc.
yourself. Maybe a similar source where you live? How kind anmd loving of
you to want this for your husband---you must be a wonderful pair!
