[quote=Anonymous] Have her sign HIPPA forms to put you on all her drs NOW. This was one of the biggest issues for me when my mom, who was my dad's caretaker, broke her hip (caring for him, he fell on her)-dad wasn't cognitively able to assist with drs. and all her hippa forms had been signed years earlier when he was. We hadn't expected HER to be the one hospitalized. The other pp's here have good suggestions, pretty much all of which I have done. One thing I thought of-have an OT or PT come to the home and look around and make suggestions for safety ideas. For example, ours had us remove area rugs, ect. Does she have at least one door with a ramp/no step? [/quote]
