Find Care & Housing
If you meet at least ADLs that you cannot perform then you qualify for facility LTC. If you meet Medicaid requirements then you will have the assistance that you need. You also have the option of selling off your home or assets to enter as private care then file for Medicaid

It might now be much less expensive and for your best that you to go into a care facility, where all of your needs will be met and you won't have to worry about any of the things you can no longer do.

What country do you live in? If the US, then contact:

- your local Area Agency on Aging to connect with helpful resources
- your county's social services to see if you qualify for some in-home help
- Care.com to hire aids

What is the issue with your shoulder? Have you seen an orthopedist?

This site cannot provide ‘help at home’ for you, and it is not an agency for carers. It could be a good idea for you to think carefully about what help you really need, and how it would turn into some routines you could hire help with – and afford to pay for.

Are your physical problems ongoing or due to a temporary injury which will improve? You can hire household help or aides to assist with showers and personal care. If these are ongoing or progressing problems, you may need to change your living situation. You may benefit from moving to an assisted living facility. We could use more information to assist you and give you more advice. Can you explain if you have other disablities in addition to having trouble using your arms? Do you have trouble getting around (walking, getting to bathroom, getting out of bed, etc)?
