Members shared a variety of resources for finding affordable in-home care help for a loved one, with many recommending starting with local Councils on Aging, which often provide sliding-scale services including bathing assistance, light housekeeping, and companionship for up to six hours per week. Several members mentioned additional options such as state-funded respite programs, VA benefits for veterans, Visiting Nurses Association, hospice care for advanced cases, and online platforms like Care.com and Angels.com for hiring private aides. A recurring theme was the importance of exploring all available programs early, as the hours provided may feel adequate at first but often become insufficient as caregiving needs increase over time.

depending upon several you or your loved ones circumstances. for example if they are a veteran the VA should be able to provide you and your loved one support or who to contact for services needed. If not and your loved one is a senior citizen, your might want to see if your local senior center or council of the aging they might be able to help
I have found that there are a few agencies out there that do offer such services such as Angels.com, Care.com
Good Luck

I have an aid coming for my husband 2hrs a day twice a week. He will just shower him and spend the rest of the time visiting; it's more for me so I can have a little time to myself! He comes from the Visiting Nurses and I couldn't ask for a better companion. Hope it works out. Will keep posting with our journey!!
