Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Alzheimer's / May 20055 day respite
I didn't know this until my daughter told me....There is a 5 day respite care, A doctor orders it. I don't know how it works but believe its part of medicare. I asked my DR. about it. She said there was this 5 day thing ...I didn't ask more than that because I knew I needed more than 5 days to recoup. Has anyone heard of it or availed themseves of it? Seems, if this is so, we could last a lot longer at this job... Florence, I have never heard of it, but then Grayson has been dead for four years. It could have become available since then. Or it could have been available and I just never knew about it. Sorry. Gwen > I didn't know this until my daughter told me....There is a 5 day respite > care, A doctor orders it.
