I am at the library in Ormond Beach. We have no internet at either my mother or my aunt..AND the library in Daytona Beach got flooded during the hurrican this past September.
I am sending out inquiry emails to perspective nursing homes for mom. As I mentioned she definitely can't stay here in Florida and I can't move down here.
Last week I googled some names and somehow got connected to care.com. Today I went directly to the websites of the facilities and sent inquiry emails. The biggest thing is getting help with the Medicaid. It seems like everyone has an angle to get paid. A referral site I went to asked for $300 fee. Makes me think about why I haven't blogged much about this situation. There is no way I can help or give advice. Things are geared for someone to get paid. Sort of like years ago you could google a name to get an address and phone number. Now there are so many links to lure you in to money for information that used to be free. If they don't outright charge you then thy make getting the information so complicated you give up or go to a site and get hooked into some type of payment.
So far I am seeking information on five places:
Jewish Home in Westchester
Jewish Home in Harlem
St. Patrick's in the Bronx
Beth Abraham in the Bronx
Hebrew Home in Riverdale
All of these facilities came with recommendations. Won't mean they will be perfect. And unfortunately I don't have the luxury of checking them out physically beforehand. I have to go on faith.
