Hi everyone,
I’m currently exploring options for supporting my elderly parent at home and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I want to ensure they receive quality attention while maintaining their independence. I’ve heard about professional services and volunteer programs, but I’m unsure which route would be best. Has anyone here successfully navigated this process?
Specifically, I’m looking for tips on vetting caregivers, understanding costs, and balancing personal involvement. Any advice or resources for
caregiving help would be greatly appreciated. Your experiences could really guide me in making informed choices.
Thanks in advance!
I would challenge yourself to seek the knowledge to help your loved one recover. I've eaten and seen what patients eat in institutions.
A. Institutional food is the opposite of what the body requires for healing. Kindly nurses and dietitians will assure you that nutrition is much better than it used to be or they will call it "perfect nutrition."
They either lie or are dumb as as a percil eraser, much to the harm of patients.
B. You can learn how to be a good caregiver and train your children to help. The example you show them is the likely care they will afford you when your health declines. If it's based upon insurance coverage then everyone will base the family members' care on the love of the strangers/accountants and stock brokers on Wall Street for them. You know what the love of money is.........the root of......
My next point.
C. What more often happens is that insurance in conjunction with medical decides the fates and shortens lives, turning family into victims.
If Medical Mafia get involved, they actually have bounties and hits on the elderly, setting the date of execution. How do you tell if you are hiring Mafia?
In WV it exceeded $150,000 per soul they ended before care ate into the pure profit from the covid federal grant. Drs got into medicine for the love of $ or people?
It's hard for them to resist that temptation.
Are the patients affiliated with insurance and hospice? Risks goes up that your loved one will be put on a private calendar in the off book medical record, head of hospice and insurance company knows it because they decide life and death based upon profit margin.
This is tough to swallow, but you sound like someone who loves your family. That's why I'm sharing the truth. Those who are in the medi-sin business will not tell you this .
Last example.
Make sure valuables are out of sight and locked up. Physical therapists and nurses were strangely interested in personal possessions of family and caught rummaging through closets for no reason other than looking to steal. The bright smiles, charms and "professional". appearances don't always mean integrity. I'm being negative in spite of the good workers out there for dozens of reasons. There are honest Christians out there who don't deserve that judgement.
However, there are many who have tried extremely hard to tarnish the entire health care industry and by God's intervention were caught.
If there's any way you can get family who have good character involved, or close friend, I would seek them first. If that's not an option then ask God. In fact ask the Lord all along the way because we need His help always, don't we? May he bless you and your loved ones....all of them.
