[quote=Anonymous]Medicare will pay for your parents to have a visiting nurse 1-2 times a week (as needed), and they will also cover PT and OT as needed up to twice a week. The service my parents use gave them a number to call instead of 911 when they have a problem - the oncall nurse will triage them and decide how to get them the help they need. I think this is to cut down on ER visits. Alternatively, you can hire your own caregivers for about $28/hour for 4 hour minimum shift or you could hire a private RN to look in after them. There are no great solutions in any of this. [/quote]
