Have you contacted your Area Agency on Aging? (Sorry if you already have.)

Yes! In 2 states. And I'm always shocked when I get off the phone because it goes like this:

They do all my intake and then come the questions -

Do you have trouble getting dressed? Yes

Do you have trouble bathing? Yes

Do you have trouble making meals for yours? Yes

A few more along those lines and then it's "I'm sorry we don't have any programs you're eligible for."

What?!? It's got to be either my age or that I have zero income. I'll definitely try them again, because why not.
