I would contact her doctor and check if there is a provider he can recommend. In my city we have an online listing for in-home caregivers. They run background checks and references are available. I found 2 companions for Mother who are now dear friends this way. You might do a Yahoo search for in-home health care with your city and state just to see what pops up. In our area, depending on the amount of "nursing" care required hourly rates are $10-16.00.
Did your mom have a home church that she went to all the time? That's where I'd start if she did. Someone there must need the money, and is trustworthy I would HOPE!! :)
Hi MyChoice...I don't think you're allowed to promote your business, website, etc...here. Keep it up and AC will kick you out. It's only reasonable that they do so since this is a site for caregivers to get support for our burdens. Although I appreciate that you have your own business to help us caregivers, I think it would be best if you do your free-flowing advertisement NOT on this site. Please don't take it wrong but this is a site for mutual support and advice.
Yes, talk to your (her) dr and see if he knows anyone. Also Church is a wonderful place to find people that are willing to help out. Or you may find a neighbor that could use a little spending money, and they could do it when kids are in school...
I called Mayo Family Care and they came out the next day. They are located in Sumner Iowa and service Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Chickasaw, and Fayette.
