[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you need an RN 24-7 just to give your dad tube feedings, though. You need an RN to supervise the feedings, train the home health aides, and be on call for any issues that crop up. A home health aide willing to do tube feedings might cost more than one who isn't willing though. The RN can do weekly medication set up. a home health aide cannot administer the medication, but could with medication tech certification if allowed in your state. If your mom could supervise the actual ingestion of the medication each day, that would be easiest. You don't need an RN to supervise tube feedings at night, so whoever lives in the home doesn't have to be an RN anyhow.[/quote]
