I was able to get my neighbor the kind of help you sugget, but there were lots of problems partly because home health ws staffed by welfare-to work personnel with poor work ethics. Even still, it took several neighbors and friends to stay on top of her needs. In the end, her public services cost about $600/mo to stay at home, as she wanted, versus $3000/mo for a nursing home she did not want.
Good lord, she must not have very good health insurance. I have Tricare Prime, through the military and all I pay for co-pay is $12.00. I sure am luck AND thankful to have Tricare!
If I have to go to the hospital, it only cost me $11 dollars a day, and that covers all tests, food, room, everything. They can't charge me more then $11 dollars a day! 
An ambulance call is over $200 dollars but all I would have to pay is $20.00. Nice, eh?

Your neighbor is lucky to have you. I know she appreciates all you do and have done for her!!!!!
