Topical creams, yes! Maxfreeze is my favorite spray, and now in a roll-on with extra Arnica.
My favorite (does very little, but is good) because the name makes me laugh:
Two Old Goats lotion. There are many more that I have.
Guess the best for pain is the essential oil, deep blue by doterra. Must be applied more frequently, q. 2 hours. Works.
For me, if I am distracted by the t.v., the pain is less. But remembering to move is key to getting better.

This drop-in Nh may happen, but someone else should steal the idea. We are retired.

LOL. I think I will probably never see it happen. Well, maybe as a client?

I think everyone else is either sitting down to a turkey dinner right about now or sleeping off the after effects :)

Have you tried any of the topical creams for your pain? When I broke my ankle many moons ago I thought myoflex was very good, and my mom likes it for her arthritis too.

I want to drop-in to the new nursing home until my broken bones heal.
Thanks CWillie for this excellent thread. I really needed something to take my mind off the pain and being so useless.

Where are our legal beagles and the expert nurses? Check-in please.

Then, there are the financial experts, and investment experts.

Then this project and design should be put into 'Open Source', or 'Creative Commons' so the idea can be shared freely and improved by others. What do you think, Cwillie?

Wouldn't it be more fun just for caregivers to go and get a jacuzzi? Lol.

FF, yes, again with the hotel idea for a cleaning crew. Good planning, cleaning is paramount.

How about delivering them home in a limo?

RCFE licenced. Membership fees go towards insurance and legal costs.
Restaurant next door, delivers to guests. This solves the food service issues, because chef could not plan ahead for a drop-in crowd.

Cleaning is would next on the list. After the day-timers leaves, and crew needs to come in to quickly clean.... put on all new bedding, cleaning the bathrooms, etc.... then when the night-timers leave, the crew quickly needs to change the bedding again, clean the bathrooms, etc.

What is the plan for caregivers who do not return to pick up their family member?

Is a person with a DNR allowed?

It sounds like an exotic quick solution to respite care. What about a person on hospice? What is the plan?

Can THE CLUB take elders out on casino trips or museum outings for a fee?

Figuring out the complex logistics: 24 hour on-site nurse (R.N.)
PRE-paid Membership required, funded by medicare re-imbursement.?
"The Club."
Hospital beds for naps.
Patients will be administered their own meds by R.N. , brought in with them. Required to be individually pre-packaged and individually labeled by pharmacy.
Rx, New service I heard about.
Mininmum stay 2 hours. Can be overnight, like a hotel?
"The Best Exotic Eldercare Hotel"
Fees are 1) a minimum price, 2) extra for use of bedroom, private or dormitory for napping. 3) extra for meals, snacks and hors d'ouvres are free.
A personally assigned caregiver. Plan A Cannot be left alone. Plan B Caregiver supervises maximum of 3 clients.
What else?

Yay! Great minds think alike, Cwillie. My neice takes her daughter to a toddler drop off. That is a bit different than pre-school or daily child care. I like the DROP-OFf aspect of the plan.
1) they don't live there. 2) they don't go at a pre-arranged schedule or all the time. 3) they go at your convenience, and when you can afford it.

Someone is about to make a million on this idea.

We could call it ELDER DROP-Off. Or something nicer.

We have overnight and weekend daycare for kids, why should it be harder for adults? People are always telling us that elder care is just like child care.... ;P

cwillie, that sounds like a great idea.... maybe in the future it will happen if someone could figure out the complex logistics.
