[quote=Anonymous]I just went through this with my mother who died last week. You can hire 24x7 home health aids at around $28 per hour. My mom was already in an independent living facility which charged $5k per month. If you keep him in his home you can avoid that charge. Hospice provides support including a hospital bed and oxygen. These expenses are covered by Medicare. I used an agency which managed the aides coverage when they call in sick or take time off. I chose this route because I was told that if your parent is in an institution, you end up having to hire a private aid anyway to get the level of care you want. It’s a painful process, but at least I knew my mom was well cared for til the end. [/quote]
