<p>Hello..I am an 84 year old veteran and I am undergoing severe stress over this trying to get the help I need for my wife. Currently Medicare is providing what I deem to be is the 'Threat care'; ie, we're going to terminate your nurse, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and home health aid at such and such time. Their service is so irregular and on their terms as a 3 times stroke patient myself I am approaching another one I'm sure with this stress. They don't come until late in the day and consequently don't see her crying in pain early in the morning. They only see her after the strong pain medication has taken effect. We ask that they come early to help me get her up for the bathroom but it's the same old answer that we have to fit into their route schedule. I'm currently trying to fill in those lengthy VA Forms where supposedly they will give her a home health aid, but I have read that the VA really doesn't publish this support activity because they don't want too many people to use it and I am waiting on their VA paid private organizations to call me back. It's been my experience that most caregiver support agencies end up referring me to all the previous standard government, Red Cross, and other local agencies who refer me to other agencies and sadly my expectations for your agency is that you will do the same. I hope to be surprised.</p>
