HEALTH: No chemical romance
CANADA and Denmark have banned the use of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in baby bottles, feeding cups and baby food packaging. There is also great concern in both Europe and the United States about its continued use.

Why is it so hard to get good home health care?

My in laws are well into their 70’s and he has a heart and kidney problem and she has diabetes and Alzheimer’s and i am trying to find a good home health agency to come in and help her bathe and dress and groom because he is in his 80’s and takes blood thinners and the least little scratch is very dangerous to him , he could bleed almost to death. She is functioning like a child and can not do the things she used to do , she needs assistance with her bathing and medications and food preparations. I have tried several agencies since all they have is medicare but they are trying because some times they will show up and some times they just don’t. I even had one aide from a place to take money and jewelry from them . My mother in law does not know any better than to offer it , she is thinking like a child would. So will medicaid help them in any way? OR is it the same ole ordeal, with , limitations and guidelines? Need advice soon or we will have to move them to a family members home and hope all goes well there but i highly doubt it.
