Help! Medicare expert needed! Is coverage available for in-home health care? |
I realize how convoluted this can all be. I've been in touch with several doctors, nurses, health-care agencies, and a Medicare rep. All I can say is the information I've obtained has been sketchy at best. Mom is in final stages of cancer and a related rare disease called amyloidosis. She requires full-time care now, and we've hired sitters to help us, but we can't do this for any length of time. She's not currently under hospice, although she certainly qualifies for that. Thank God pain management has not been an issue, but having people who can help take of her now that she is becoming totally bedfast is a major issue. Does anyone know who we can contact that might have some answers and help us wade through all this mess???????? If any of you have had any experience with home health care and Medicare, I would certainly welcome your input as well. Thank you! Hospice will be able to offer her more services at this stage in a week than the home health I believe. Call the Home Health agency though your doctor uses for most of his patients and see if she would qualify for how many visits a week? some to bathe her, sometimes they will even send someone to help clean, you just need to call. Then call the Hospice and compare servcies. Yes,,,contact your Provincial MPP....there is help available// |
