[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for responding. For the most part, she does not need help with vitals or meds. She has a companion living with her who can do that, but she can't assess her medically. She needs someone who can address issues/symptoms as they arise, coordinate with doctors when necessary, and also give her some peace of mind. Her doctors/specialists are good, but they don't check up on her. I have been looking into at-home nursing programs but so far none serve her area. I've been calling geriatricians and even concierge medical practices. So far, all answers are negative: we don't serve that area, the practice is full, etc. I'm beginning to think that an independent medical professional--ideally a nurse practitioner?--who works on his/her own may be the only option as we have not had luck with agencies.[/quote]
