[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of someone having CNAs on top of skilled nursing. That's a cost most people would not pay for[/quote] It's because they want their parent/patient to have more 1on1 care. In a skilled nursing facility, the nurse in charge of you probably has 4-8 patients. If you push button you need to bathroom, it might be 5-10 mins before they get to you, if they are dealing with another patient. During the day having someone with your parent means they get more help/attention. But it doesn't need to be CNA, it could just be anyone willing to assist [/quote] It’s very common to have a caregiver sit with a dementia patient or skilled nursing patient 24-7. My mother was in a specialized dementia facility and we still had to hire a 24-7 caregiver (from a totally unrelated agency) to sit with her. At that point, I realized it was cheaper to bring her back to her home with said caregiver. [/quote]
