Has anyone combined OTR & senior care

Parents are stubborn.
Tell them that their accepting help will make life easier for you. Tell them you need their help. Telling parents they neex help never works.

Don't get all teary-eyed...we might demand you turn in your man card!

Good luck with your situation! OH BTW, you do understand that rents and housing prices are fairly extreme in the Bay Area....just be forewarned!

 

Very stubborn. And they don't fit in the side box either so you can't take them with you.

 

If we don't watch out for each other who will?

Like the Rubber Duck and gang when they busted Spider Mike out of Truckers Hell.

 

Another thing to consider is many of the larger companies have local or regional positions that will keep your experience up for when you wish to return otr.

 

Do you have any brothers and/or sisters to help you out with the care of your parents? You are facing quite a task.

There is a POSSIBILITY that you may have to forgo driving a truck for awhile to be able to spend more time with your parents. You may have to find local work either at a local office, plant, retail establishment, supermarket, or a warehouse. These are all jobs that you can perhaps have set hours to accommodate what tasks lie ahead of you in the care of your parents.

10/17/2006, my 2 younger sisters called me back to Hartford CT to help care for our elderly mother. I was living in Wichita KS at the time. I did fly back to help out. I eventually found a job back in Connecticut to have a paycheck coming in.

Also, if you have any brothers and sisters who are currently working, perhaps they can financially assist you until you find a job. My 2 younger sisters did that for me until I had found a job. In my case, it took 7 months to find a job. LORD WILLING, may your job search be much easier.

In addition to my 2 sisters and I helping out, we also had health care workers working with her both day and night. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, there was enough insurance to cover a lot of these expenses.

SADLY and UNFORTUNATELY, our mother passed away about a year later, (9/30/2007). Our father had passed away 26 years earlier, (7/2/1981).

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!
