I am in a family crisis. Is there short term care available?

Actually I think for several months, just find an asst living which has a month-to-month lease. You can move him out after giving 30 days notice. Few of the AL near my home offers short term stay, and the couple that did, had a 2 week minimum at a huge price tag. Shop.around, maybe you can find a senior apartment and bring in 24 hr caregivers. But make sure the lease is monthly.

Yes, I'd check with independent or assisted living places near you for short-term respite care. Good luck!!

Most assited living and nursing homes will take people for respite care, usually for 30 day minimum.

Do an Internet search for local caregiver companies and start contacting them to compare services and prices.
