[quote=Anonymous]My family member is mostly bedridden due to multiple health issues. She can’t get out of bed alone. Even if she were able, she can’t use the bathroom or perform other basic tasks for herself (she uses a walker only with support). She basically is 100% reliant on her home health aides when awake. She probably should be in a nursing home but after a bad experience won’t consider it which I understand. So far the agency has been mostly very reliable and the quality of aides excellent. However, in reading the winter forecast I am concerned about what happens in bad weather, especially a bad snow or ice storm. What if the agency can’t send an aide? How likely is this to be an issue? I don’t know what we’d do if nobody could get to her. She lives alone and has no children. I’m her closest family member and I can’t physically care for her. [/quote]
