My mother who is 93 has had to have at home health care on numerous occasions; because of a broken hip, and recent heart attacks. In all cases, the hospital or her health care provider helped us make the decisions and recommendations for her care. Please contact the hospital or your father’s physician for assistance.

Thanks for that. The hospital DID recommend people to contact (and I’m unsure about them). However, what we have run into, in the past, were folks stealing them blind and threatening them (as far as the sitters go). I know there are many home sitting companies out there who others may have used and had a success with. It seems to be franchised, now. In the old days......we’re talking 20 years ago.....we hired private sitters. No “orgs”, if you will.

I’m actually going to call our GP, tomorrow, who treats our entire family and is a good, Christian man and knows “the score”. However......with these things, I have often found it incredibly helpful to get many opinions about home health care. I know there are many experiences with various companies.
