Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Medicare pays for Hospice services. You will get an aide to bathe the client 2 or 3 times a week for maybe an hour. You can request more time but it will probably only be a couplebof more hours so you canvrun errands. Is your LO on in home Medicaid now? If so this should not change. To get in home Medicaid you have to fall under certain criteria. Assets need to be below 2k or whatever ur State allows. Also, monthly income has a cap. Qualifying is not an over night thing. Hospice should have volunteers that will sit with the client but again, only long enough for you to run errands. They are not aides. Hospice care at home falls on the family.
If your state is one of the states that allows Medicaid coverage for hospice, they will provide a nurse coming once a week to start and aides to bathe your loved one at least twice a week. You will also have access to their social worker, chaplain, and volunteers, and they will supply all needed equipment, supplies and medications. However hospice only does about 1% of your loved ones care, which means that 99% will fall on you or whoever else is taking care of your loved one.
No, it does not. But it may give some help with an aid dependent on your state, its rules and benefits, and how to qualify, so it is worth checking out. The hospice itself will provide only an aid for a bedbath two to three times a week, an RN visit once a week, Medications, hospital equipment where needed (bed and beside commode and etc) medical management for end of life care, counselor or clergy on request, social worker when required. As to speak to the social worker to find options for private hire of aid if there are any funds or to find options if there are not.
This is a terrible problem. In "old Hospice" before the hedgefund managers took over these money makers, there used actually to be options for more help, and used to be some in facility hospice. You may be down, yourself to placement in a nursing home where hospice can still provide the little they do provide these days. Medicare pays them enormous sums, and they get by with doing very little now compared to the old models.
I would discuss your needs with hospice so you get options. I recently as a year and one half ago helped a friend die at home. She had to hire two gals to do in home care 12 hour shifts EVERY DAY at 20.00 an hour and happy to get them at that price; also provided meals brought in to them. It was ENORMOUSLY expensive.
I wish you the best of luck, but this is Hospice today. As an RN I was so thankful when we got it for our country from across the pond in the UK where the model began. But it is a pitiful remnant of what it was now that the corporate entities have hold of it. I wish you the very best of luck.
Hospice is not hands on care, that is on the family to provide. What they do provide is abundant medical and home health supplies, bathing aides, a nurse weekly or when called for and needed, guidance by phone, and other services upon request. One very helpful thing my dad’s hospice provider made available was a list of independent workers, not employees of theirs, but people they knew to be good. I hired several of them as aides and they were excellent
An rn comes once a week to check his vitals. A cna will come twice a week to bathe him. A chaplain or social worker will visit once a month as requested. There may be volunteers that drop by weekly or so, as requested, but do not typically help with adls.
