Its not work if you're not getting paid...
I saw that but what I'm looking for is a shower with grab bars. I keep seeing conflicting info though. Some say they never cover, some say only from places that cooperate with Medicare for sales. I wish I could find the link again, but there was one site that does bathroom renovations to make them ADA friendly that claims Medicare covers their renos and that they will even do the paperwork or help with it. But, that may be a scam to get people's info and bilk the system.I found this while doing a quick search...
Unfortunately for most seniors, walk in bathtubs are not considered to be durable medical equipment by Medicare and therefore Medicare will not pay for the cost of a walk-in tub nor will they contribute to the cost of installation. ... Even with all this support, there is no guarantee of Medicare's assistance.Apr 1, 2016

Thanks! I wish I could find the link again to that one bathroom remodel place. I tried to remember my search terms when I found it, but I was half asleep and I accidentally closed the tab a long time ago. I should look in the history, but I forget which browser. LOL. I'll find it again eventually.I would try calling an ADA bathroom remodel company. They may have some trade secrets similar to those little 4 wheel scooters that is also suppose to be covered by Medicare. As I get older, I find the government has alot of programs available to people, but they don't advertise them and hope you just forget about it. Such as medical benefits and money for widows of our servicemen.

If my father were alive and needed the ADA stuff, the VA would help with it. I don't think they do it for widows though. And Blue Cross Blue Shield has been refusing to cover a lot of things now. Wish we could buy something that is approved and then be reimbursed.
That's the odd thing... We don't remember him having it, but sometimes my mother notices that parts of her medical bills are paid by Tricare when she never did anything to set it up. She is a military dependent and has a card that lets her get military discounts and has access to the base facilities. Just don't know how to do the whole Tricare thing.Did your Dad have tri Care insurance from the military?

Interesting. I thought they don't do that in this state because the nursing home people lobbied to prevent it, but if it's being done by Tricare, it might be good. Does being a caretaker count toward my working/social security? And what are the requirements? Would she have to be in a certain income bracket?TriCare is like the SUPER DOOPER insurance
You really need to find out about her insurance
Tricare will pay $1000.00 per week for in home 24/7 care
that means YOU can take care of Mom and get paid for it
I'm thinking of that chapter in Numbers (5, I think?) where the guy gathers wood on the Sabbath so God orders him stoned to death. I think it says "firewood," maybe depending on the translation. So...was it cooking firewood or blacksmithing firewood?Its not work if you're not getting paid...
God spelled out what separates you from Him, it isn't some fuzzy feeling you get. The problem is He spelled it out to people thousands of years ago in their language, so we have to figure out exactly what was said, how to understand it in our language, and how it applies to our lives now. In a way that's an impossible task, which I think is why so many people today go for the "fuzzy feeling" interpretation. I'm also nervous about the idea of buffing my car headlights and claiming it's to glorify God when I'm not sure it's really true.Sin can be defined as things that separate you from God. Make the endeavors you do glorify Him and I don't think you'll have a problem. But just in case I'm wrong, gather the wood during the week...��
Gary, I'm glad you're ok. I know there can be a bit of a recovery period from the surgery-- may have to change your diet and they might put you on some meds for awhile to prevent acid reflux or something. Mom had her gall bladder taken out awhile back.

OK, apologies for going down the religion rabbit hole. I meant the Sabbath comments light-heartedly but it's hard to keep them that way.
Today I dropped my dad off at the airport after a really nice 3 day visit. If my math is right, I see him an average of about once every 4.16 years. He got to meet his grandson, and enjoy his granddaughter again now as a little girl instead of a toddler. I hope he'll be around long enough to see both of them really grow up, and I hope I'll keep being able to at least afford to bring him here if not take my family overseas to visit him.
