Elder care and rehabilitation services are meant for the aged who live by themselves, are sick or handicapped, or cannot look after themselves properly. Rehabilitation refers to the gradual process of regaining a person’s lost physical and mental capabilities. The rehabilitation centers for the elderly mainly aim at improving the life of these old individuals. Psychology has an important role to play in rehabilitation programs. The caregivers in rehab centers adopt a psychological approach in treating patients. The goal of every rehabilitation program is to help the affected person lead a normal and active life. Traditional rehabilitation strategies combined with social contacts can help increase the involvement of patients in these programs.
Elder care deals with the care concerns and the other issues associated with the aged people. Old age characterized by weakness and ill-health, make the aged depend on other people even for doing their daily activities. With proper elder care services, we can help improve the life of our elders. The caregivers for elder care should be selected after thorough screening, making sure they would give the necessary care for the patients. Different rehabilitation services are available for the aged people such as pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation and more. While searching for a rehabilitation center, make sure it is a good facility and that your loved ones will get proper care and attention.
Elder care services focus on fulfilling the personal and social requirements of the older generation. Elder care services combine care management and care giving to provide superior services to the aged. Elder care and rehabilitation services provide comfortable, secure living accommodations to the elderly in a loving and safe environment for a long period.
The elderly patients in the rehab centers, away from their dear ones long for good companionship and wish to discuss their joys and sorrows. The caregiver should be one with the ability to listen and interact with them patiently. In today’s busy life with the younger generation living away for their job requirements, the demand for old age homes has increased so much that these have become a great necessity in the society.

Student loans can be deferred for a number of reasons – returning to school is one, economic trouble is another (for up to 3 years). If I read right you have been out of school for 6 years You can either return to school, take deferment if you have not already done so, or you can return to work as a nurse until these loans are cleared up. Not a lot of options.
As far as I know there is no assistance for loan forgiveness in these programs just for helping others no matter how noble the action.. Remember that while they may be"federal" student loan programs they are not government owned or run just guaranteed. If you default you will never get a job in the federal work force including the VA and any tax returns will be taken until the loans paid by the government are repaid.
I admire your moral sense of duty to your parents. God knows of your sacrifice and will not abandon you, but as you are learning, in life it is often the good deed that appears to get punished. Thankfully you have a BSN. You have good earning potential and can clear these up within a fairly short time frame. I know it does not seem fair, but when you reach a later stage in life what you have done will be a source of pride and happiness for you. May life richly repay you for your sacrifice in the years to come.
Best wishes

I'm truly sorry for your situation.
I recommend you look into Congressman Ron Paul. He wants to completely reform the Medicare/Medicaid system.
From Ron Paul library:
"Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation that enhances senior citizens' ability to control their health care and use Medicare money to pay for prescription drugs. This legislation accomplishes these important goals by removing the numerical limitations and sunset provisions in the Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSAS) program so that all seniors can take advantage of the Medicare MSA option.
Medicare MSAs consist of a special savings account containing Medicare funds for seniors to use for routine medical expenses, including prescription drugs. Seniors in a Medicare MSA program are also provided with a catastrophic insurance policy to cover non-routine expenses such as major surgery. Under an MSA plan, the choice of whether to use Medicare funds for prescription drug costs, or other services not available under traditional Medicare such as mammograms, are made by seniors, not by bureaucrats and politicians.
Medicare MSAs will also ensure seniors access to a wide variety of health care services by minimizing the role of the federal bureaucracy. As many of my colleagues know, an increasing number of health care providers have withdrawn from the Medicare program because of the paperwork burden and constant interference with their practice by bureaucrats from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (previously known as the Health Care Financing Administration). The MSA program frees seniors and providers from this burden, thus making it more likely that quality providers will remain in the Medicare program!
Mr. Speaker, the most important reason to enact this legislation is seniors should not be treated like children and told what health care services they can and cannot have by the federal government. We in Congress have a duty to preserve and protect the Medicare trust fund and keep the promise to America's seniors and working Americans, whose taxes finance Medicare, that they will have quality health care in their golden years.
However, we also have a duty to make sure that seniors can get the health care that suits their needs, instead of being forced into a cookie cutter program designed by Washington-DC-based bureaucrats! Medicare MSAs are a good first step toward allowing seniors the freedom to control their own health care.
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to provide our senior citizens greater control of their health care, including the ability to use Medicare money to purchase prescription drugs, by cosponsoring legislation to expand the Medicare MSA program"
