To whomever provided this information, thanks a bunch! I am with an agency on the coast providing advocacy to individuals with disabilities and the elderly who were impacted by hurricane Katrina and any help we can get with finding resources and programs to make life better for our clients is greatly appreciated! My name is Shirley and I'm with MS Protection and Advocacy System, Inc. Thanks
I have seen what the problems with elder care going on and was finally albe to get the services I needed through a place called http://www.RightAtHome.net
Others may want to see if they can help them with their Elder Care needs.
I looked at Right At Home - It's a franchise business - so with that comes any concern with consistency of services provided.
Only 1 in MS, so not a large provider.
