[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in the “crisis” phase of arranging in home care for parents who have lived in denial for years. Dad is now severely debilitated; mom more capable but *cannot* care for him at the level he needs. They are significantly lucky in that they/we have assets/money.

I live far away and my main goal is to get something stable in place. What is the most reliable way to get consistent care in the home?

There are agencies, but one aide company has so far failed to find us a live-in aide, I think because my dad needs more care than they really want to deal with. I called a private nursing place, but they are cobbling together shifts of various people and it seems like, for the long term, this may not be the best, plus what if the nurse fails to show?

Are there live-in LP nurses? Or any home services that, if someone can’t come, they send a replacement? I know we are lucky to have money to have this be an option, but so far care at home seems very difficult to arrange even if they money is there. I want to respect my parents’ desire for at home care but is this even feasible? How do people arrange it?

Hire a LPN and offer $40 hourly with guarantee hours and benefits. As backup, I’d get Visiting angels(they charge $32 minimum of 4 hours) they have reliable nurse aids.[/quote]
