Do you need help for the pain? Or because you can no longer walk? Is this is sudden occurance? For pain and weakness in your legs and because you can't walk, please call 911 AND a relative, neighbor or other friend to accompany you. You should not go by yourself. Please don't ask them to pick you up and get you into a car... this is how people hurt their backs. Best if you go by ambulance and they follow. At the hospital you should consider telling them you are not able to manage at home right now. They might have a social worker present who can help you figure out in-home care options, or recommend a good Assisted Living facility. Having in-home aids sounds good in theory but requires a lot of management and is also expensive. Being in a good, reputable AL facility allows you to be connected to people socially, and be on the admins radar should you need increasing care. Do you have an assigned PoA?
