nursing home?

(but if they aren’t that sick) retirement community?

(or not, but if they still need help) assistant living?

also a lot of the times there are volunteers whether they are from a hospital or are students in community service

Medicare does offer assistance. Check to see how much they can do with your income level… home care helps, bathing people for you, feeding, transporting, etc. Just start asking..remember “the squeeky wheel gets the grease” so don’t be embarrassed to ASK and don’t give up. ;) (some/most churches) offer meals on wheels that brings food every day. Medicare is the 1st place to ask if your parents are over 65. If your father was a Veteran, the local VA office provides a lot of help they don’t advertise. Good luck!
