Where to find bilingual in-home care?

Where I am in Australia, many ethnic migrant associations run their own aged care facilities, with staff who are language speakers. Many older people lose short term memory and fall back on a birth language – it doesn’t need dementia. I’m surprised you don’t have that option, especially for such a common language as Spanish. What a difficult problem!

This is true about Dementia, patients revert back to their original language. Mom had a Spanish speaking and Italian speaking resident in her NH. There was an aide who could translate for the Spanish speaking lady but no one who could translate for the poor Italian lady.

Check around some of the Daycares, Als and NHs. There maybe some aides willing to work some extra hours. If you talk to the hiring depts, they may have some applicants looking for jobs they weren't able to hire.

A lot of communities form associations to celebrate their cultural heritage, I would try searching for a local mexican/hispanic/cuban/(other) group in your city and advertise what you are looking for there, you may even be lucky enough to find someone already employed by one of the agencies you have tried.
