The brother of my boyfriend's grandmother lives alone and he has 85 years and he can no longer mantains his house or his self. We had a person going there every day to clean and make him food and on weekends we would pick him up, but we realize that this is not enough. We want to put him in a type of nursing home or care center, but we really want to make sure is a good, safe and fun place for him. We leave in Puerto Rico and through the internet I havent found much in this location. Any personal experiences or places that you can recomend in Puerto Rico would be helpful.

you probably did not say what your grandmother is dropping her sight from. If that's cataracts then get her to an opthalmologist (with a bit of luck she has medicare) and get that fastened in the present day so she will see returned. it somewhat is a fifteen minute operation in line with eye, fee approximately $13,000 or so. If she's not on incapacity then touch a SS criminal professional and ask for incapacity for her imaginative and prescient, then get her on Medicare, wait a month and then get the operation(s). restoration takes approximately 6 months for the eyes to start to stabilize and if all is going properly she could be ok on the tip of a twelve months after she gets a 2nd pair of glasses. of direction if the grandmother is on medicare they'd get some foodstamps and that would help. Your dad is speaking approximately CNA guidance and that's 14 weeks of attending 4-hour training a pair of cases a week and then taking a state attempt. yet that supplies you a job, plus "perhaps" you ought to help out your grandmother. To gets a commission for that, when you get your state attempt and pass, you will could ask Medicare approximately getting paid, yet are conscious of it is not an entire time interest and could not assist you. approximately having little ones, properly women individuals could have healthy little ones up by using age mid-30's for specific so which you have time to have that 2nd newborn. do not rush the having little ones.
