[quote=Anonymous]This is absolutely reasonable and a good idea of the patient has a TBI. Typically someone with a TBI will be more impulsive and at higher risks for falls—hospital staff, no matter how attentive, will not be at the bedside 24/7 to eliminate this risk. In terms of concerns that hospital staff will be less attentive because you have an aide, the opposite is typically true. Having someone at the bedside who can advocate for the patient increases accountability. You can hire though an agency and describe attributes you’d prefer. I would also perhaps explore a private case manager to coordinate needs in the community and during transitions (in addition to the hospital discharge planner) as it seems that this patient likely has complex care needs.[/quote]
