Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
My dad is moving in with me. I’am in Utah. He’s moving from Wyoming and I only have tub shower combos, I was wondering how or if there’s programs that will help me with financial help. Today is July 17 and I have He moves in The weekend of August 1.
He needs to pay for it, not you. If you are working age and are planning to stay home to care for him, create a contract so that he pays you. He should also pay rent and his share of utilities. If neither of you can afford this then maybe consider a different arrangement, one where he doesn’t live with you.
Before he moves in I strongly recommend he assign you as his durable POA so that as he continues to decline you can legally manage his affairs. See an elder law attorney for this.
please go into this with your eyes wide open. There is very little financial assurance for in-home care. Once he gets into town contact socials for your county to see what services he qualify for, if any.
Probably not. We had to pay for my parents walk in shower. It cost about 10K to remove the tub and install the shower.with Bath Fitters.
it is also possible to do a tub to walk in shower conversion where the tub is cut. My sister had someone do that for her MIL. It worked well. That would be a lot cheaper option. Research that on line.
Pose your question on your local Next Door group. You may find some recommendations. You can also contact your local Aging Agency for ideas. We did this for my dad as it was too expensive for him in his area. It was a great help to him. I wish you well in finding the best plan
Call 311 and your county’s area on aging. Put up a go fund me if that doesn’t work. If this all fails and dad can’t get into the bath as it is, perhaps your home isnt the best place for him.
If your bathroom has a floor drain, it may be much easier to set up a shower chair next to the bath, and put a hand held hose on the bath taps that can be used outside the bath. You might be able to do the same thing in the laundry.
Changing a bathroom is very expensive, and you don’t really know whether the move is going to work out. This might be a useful temporary experiment.
