[quote=Anonymous]I think it's rare to find. Much easier to find a neurologist who has a large elderly clientele, but of course there need to be cognitive issues. If they can afford it, you may want to look into a geriatric case manger who can coordinate all care. They can often find PTs who come to the home if needed and all the people they contract with primarily service the elderly. They can also get aides, etc on short notice. They can even coordinate elder-proofing a home as needed. If your mom will be recovering from major surgery, you will want more than a PT and nutritionist, assuming your dad is elderly too. At least for the first 2 weeks I would have an aide who can help her use the bathroom if needed or shower. You might want to look into a meal service too.[/quote]
