BrownEyes007, Welcome! Call 311 to find out who your local contracted Area Agency on Aging is. They have Social Workets who can assist.

(In NYC, there are private agencies who are under contract with the City to provide Aging Services.)

Is your mom on Medicaid?

Call the Area Agency on Aging. It sounds like you want respite not a permanent placement?

There are people here that are in New York they will probably assist you.

Any advice?
how can I find a respite care facility that can watch mom for a few days so I can get a mini vacation? Need a break. She needs 24 hr nursing care. Would like too ease her into long term care.
in nyc all answers were she would only get into a facility after a hospital admission. ?????
