It was a hard sell for mother but we got them to start with simple help (occasional laundry, a little shopping trip) and eventually they came to depend on the service. When mother died last fall the eldercare service became even more a part of father's continued daily life. It has been a huge help to us - we can continue to be involved with father's life but we don't feel guilty if we aren't there for a Dr. appointment or if he needs some shopping done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196063742786356491.post-1687826791740783922009-10-05T15:04:11.544-05:002009-10-05T15:04:11.544-05:00Sure hope you CAN get away and go South.
