What home custodial care services are available for seniors?
My father is a non-ambulatory Alzheimers patient in his 7th year in a nursing home. We are considering bringing him home, and are considering hiring daily or twice daily custodial care services.
Do any of you know about the types of services, what they do and what they cost? General or specific answers are both helpful.
You will find Home health services in some states, they will send a nurse at least once a week to do vitals etc. and may have an aid from home health come and bathe the person a few times a week also. Care givers can usually be found through home health agencies, and you will want references from care givers, and check those references!!! there are alot of great care givers out there, I have personally worked with many of them over the years, I did home care for many years.
