[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of insurance does your family member have? You may be eligible for a respite stay at a local rehab type facility if your loved one meets certain eligibility requirements. Do they have any needs, like functional mobility, bathing, dressing?
I would start by calling your local hospice agency [/quote]

Yes. She needs help with all the daily stuff - getting out of bed, bathroom, feeding. Showers are rare. She wears pull ups during the day and a diaper overnight.[/quote]

Call hospice, they have a caregivers respite program. I would guess it is not 10 days, but would at least lower your costs if you had to hire private help. Hospice can refer you to private companies who have trained and licenses CNA's that are typically 10-12/ hour. And yes you would need multiple shifts if you go that route [/quote]

When you say "call hospice" - is there only one hospice care organization? If I google will I find many options? If so, do you any particular one to refer?

Thanks![/quote]
