I have an uncle, he is about 55 and he has parkinsons disease, he has no insurance and we live in Idaho. He has to take alot of medicine. He always forgets to take his medicine, and he confuses himself on which meds to take. He is constantly having hallucinations. My dad, mom, brother, my cousin, and I are my Uncle's only family. My parents are always working, my cousin, brother and I go to school. We were thinking of hiring a person to take care of him, but it was priced at $1000 a week, and we cannot afford that, plus we live in a tiny town and we would have to hire someone from a city 200 miles away. My uncle also will not go to a nursing home or anything like it, he is extremely attached to the house, it was where he was born and raised. There was something like a necklace/bracelet that when he needs help he pushes the button, but we are afraid he would always push it because he just wants company. My family goes down there as much as we can, but he always wants more. Any Ideas?
