Home Care For The Elderly

My mother has dementia and she needs someone to sit with her, take her medication reminder, and caring for her. She lives in Mississippi. Where can I start looking and how do I get the best price? Try calling some home care agencies in the data. I went through www.aplaceformom.com. It's free, and they were very helpful. Make them in your immediate vicinity of the Agency on Aging office. Information is free, because they are a nonprofit organization. They have contacts with senior agencies, nursing homes, etc. and they are very useful. Here are the details of its headquarters in Batesville, Mississippi. I'm sure they can give you the phone number of your parent community. North Delta Area Agency on Aging PO Box 1488 Batesville, MS 38601-1488 Mary Ann Ross (662) 561-4100 or 1-800-844-2433 Counties served Missippi: Coahoma, Desoto, Panola, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tunica You can ask the doctor s orders Medicare would pay part of it for a certain period of time or call the county health department and ask about it. Many counties have someone who knows more concern, the Ministry of Health should know too. Or people who call the home health care to come, you can say you are happy with a particular group. Sometimes nursing homes or hospital discharge coordinator can give you ideas. Let me start with the doctor's office. They can give the names of the bodies in the house had good references. I worked for an agency for six years. The agency will be approx. $ 20 per hour, while the young man who comes to win $ 8. I really liked the work. Each agency has its own policies at least 2 or 3 hours per day or week. You can also contact your local Senior Center and talk to people who have homes Another idea is the hospital. Call to talk with his geriatric social worker who can guide you in the right direction. Another option is to call a couple of assisted living homes. They will also be a list and can get a few names and numbers. Good luck to you both .
