[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone with a loved one who relies on home nursing aides have a good plan for Covid? Obviously the best thing is to NOT get it, but in the worst case scenario all I can think is we would have to try to find a nursing facility that would take a Covid-positive patient for a few weeks? I don't think our home aides would keep coming and we don't have the right equipment to protect them (just surgical masks and gloves, no N95s nor the training to use them properly). I'm imaging if the patient was positive but not sick enough to need hospitalization, but still needing skilled care for daily living. Do hospitals keep such patients? I've always understood hospitals to move you out unless you're critically ill. I am drawing a blank honestly. Spouse is also elderly and can't do all the care alone, even if already exposed to the virus. Plus, what if they are both sick?[/quote]
