Thank you so much for your prayers. Monday his doctor called me and said he had talked with a Nurse Navigator and she told him the only recourse I had was to take him to the hospital and say I can’t take care of him anymore then they would put him in a home. Either that Hospice would come into the home and bath him, but they are not going to be in the home 24/7. My husband’s mind is sharp and he doesn’t want to go into a home or have Hospice come in as he knows they won’t see that he gets transfusions or if gets aspiration pneumonia will NOT give antibiotics, etc. I don’t want that either. I pray if the time comes it will be he just doesn’t wake up.
Spunky we have people (many widowed or divorced) who need a place to live and live with people who need care and help with chores and care in home. Maybe contacting a group like “visiting angels“ would know of someone. A hospital social worker might also know of a student nurse of nurses aid who only wants to work a few hours a week in exchange for room and board.
As I mentioned earlier there is an insurance that pays for home care.
