2. From one disabled Caregiver to another

Most states, communities and Churches have outreach. Old friends or neighbors? Other relatives? You may need to press charges against said "caregivers" and have some documentation from police, hospital etc so you can spread the word and again get help. My Dad went through a evaluation following a driving incident to decide if he could drive and live alone required by the state but paid for by Medicare. You may need a reevaluation due to PTSD for both your parents. I am so sorry.

I have respite help and one good PCA who had been rock solid for months slid into drug addiction and became verbally abusive and finally stole from us in a short period of time and I live here so it can happen even if you don't live far away so don't feel guilty about that. You came in time.

Wish I could be more hands on help. Remember to take care of yourself too.
