[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457135, member: 11791"] Don't know if you have access to this where you are, but we have a "home care" system here, where if the MD is on-side, he can order a caregiver to come in X times per day for medications... can also get help for basic health issues (like, someone to come through and clean critical bits once a week like fridge, stove and bathrooms - so spoiled food doesn't accumulate etc.). Depending on what is needed will determine which level of caregiver is sent... in this case, she doesn't need an RN - not sure if someone below LPN can give medications (varies here). Some places, you have to pay for this, other places its funded depending on need - its cheaper to keep these people in their homes than to put them into care. [/QUOTE]
