actually St. Vincent's has been in better days a charity of mine. When my brother was hospitalized for 3 months the St. Vincent's at their church was very good to him & his family.

I'll recontact Senior Services. I contacted them about a year ago for services for my Mom, and they weren't very helpful. I was looking for help with Mom, possibly someone coming in the late afternoon, early evening with her dinner preparation and such.

Their attitude was since she was living with me (not alone in her own home) that it was my responsibility to care for her. When I asked about respite their answer was no.

No harm in trying again.
