[quote=Anonymous]OP- if this continues into long term one other thing to consider is hiring full time / or as much as you can afford care. We had them stay at hospital and re-hab centers for my mom - meaning they reported for duty first while she was still home then when she was in hospital or first time rehab at those facilities. Once they’d been with us long enough and we felt secure with the level of care we skipped discharge from hospital to rehab and just had her go home. Rehab places are largely awful facilities. It was better for mom - and family - to continue care at home. Note - we (family) still spent lots of time with my mom at hospital but her aids were there as the constant. We’d send them to meals or just to break rooms when we visiting but them being there allowed us to still work and care/visit without long term stress or loss of income, etc.
System worked so well that by time my Dad needed - the aides were highly skilled home care and I credit them with minimizing hospital crises - and a much better quality of life.[/quote]
