Current plan is not sustainable indefinitely.
Cut back days she goes to day services, or move closer to the venue.
Caregivers have to take care of themselves in order to carry on.
Fl Medicaid knows this as well as you.
Put it all down on paper - time, costs, etc.; speak with social worker.

Blessings to you both from up north.

It’s all on paper, my costs, my time . Also her social worker, who I talk to regularly because, LilBit gets wrong size briefs every other month. When I had emergency surgery, I called her, she told me to send LilBit to a shelter, she couldn’t find a place for my daughter.
You are correct 100%
My point is , this is Florida Medicaid

Low taxes = fewer services.
