Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
In the meantime, please do what you can to protect your health such as eating a high fiber diet (soluble and insoluble fiber), drinking lots of pure water (100 oz minimum per day) and eating healthy, close to nature foods. Digestive enzymes help animal proteins break down rather than rot in the gut. Proper food combining is a MUST for colon health, and you can easily research that for no cost online. Probiotics are essential as well. All the best to you! Ruth

See if you can access this pdf. it is called Getting Covered: Finding Health Insurance When You Lose Your Job
it discusses in detail each of these options: Your Options: Find out if you can get coverage through your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer.1. Find out if you can continue your coverage through COBRA. 2. Find out if your state has any laws or programs that could help you.3. Find out if you are protected under another federal law called HIPAA (the Health 4. Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Find out if you are eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance and the Health Coverage Tax 5. Credit that comes with it. Find out if you or any of your family members are eligible for Medicaid, the Children’s 6. Health Insurance Program (CHIP), any other state or local program, or VA coverage. If you can’t afford COBRA and you can’t get help through a public program or any of the 7. options listed above, shop for insurance in the individual market—but do so with CAUTION.
We've been self employed since 2005, with "no" so-called "health" insurance. We purchased a policy which has an amazingly high deductable. (I went to the doctor once in 2006 for a spider bite, but that's been it! I'm 53.) The high-deductable private policies don't cost as much for premiums, but are meant to cover you if you have a truly huge medical bill like an emergency surgery or something. Staying healthy has proven to be more cost-effective for us! :-) What checkups are you talking about that you've missed?
