Home health comes once a week. She went into ER on Tues morning her glucose dropped low; She is currently in assisted living facility; but they can't administer shot but with dr. orders can do the glucose monitoring. Where can I go to have someone come in daily to do injection? I leave 90 miles away.
I am kind of wondering how she wound up in an assisted living center when she has critical needs they can't meet?
A nursing home could certainly meet this need. Perhaps an assisted living center with an RN on duty every day could meet it.
Can the director of nursing at the care center give you suggestions as to what kind of qualifications are needed (LPN? RN?) and where you might locate that? Is there anyone else in the center in the same situation who has hired someone?
Also ask the home health visiting nurse what resources are available to your mother. Leave a message to ask her to call you on her next visit.
It worries me that she had a hypoglycemic episode that ended up with her in the ER. Was it at nighttime? Many elders can have hypoglycemia at night that can be prevented sometimes by snacking on crackers before bed and having a bit of orange juice when they wake up if sugar is low.
Has your mother been to see a diabetic counselor recently? It might help her a lot, since she is in AL and not a NH. Medicare will pay for one consultation a year. It may help your mother to renew her education and maybe let a doctor adjust her insulin schedule if needed.
