[quote=Anonymous]Many good suggestions here.

1. As others said ask the hospital.

2. Call a care agency.

3. You will encounter a problem in having a non family member communicate with doctors or medical professionals sharing information with this person.  HIPPS type things.

4. The person will not be able to provide "care" as the person does not have privileges.  The person can make sure the patient is comfortable and needs are being met.

5.  I totally understand not wanting to leave a person who cannot communicate in the hospital alone.  Sounds a bit odd but hear me out.

You need someone attentive and who can listen and send notes/updates.  Do you know any responsible college students home at break?  Any retired nurses or teachers? Teachers on winter break? Do you belong to a church or synagogue, maybe there?

I know these ideas may sound silly but just trying to help.  My mom was a teacher and always hired other young teachers to stay in here house and pet sit over the summer.  [/quote]
