Trying to find a agency that I can pay privately for 3 to 4 hours a week to come in and observe and direct my mom with her leg with lymphedema her medication, monitor her to use her leg pumps. It has to be a skilled nurse. So I want to know is I choose to have a skilled nurse from a agency for my mom can I do that if I'm paying. With these as killed nurse services my mom also will be able to get ADL care that we can pay for also out of the money we will receive for the skilled nurse 3-4hr
Nurses would be working privately and charging fair wages for their work.
It’s possible that you could find a nursing student who would be willing to work for lower wages. I have known people who have hired students to help with caregiving.
Explain your situation to your mom’s doctor and see if there are any services available for you to utilize.
Best of luck in finding a viable solution.
Difficult for strangers to make an assessment on needs and circumstances. This is something for a nurse manager and social workers to advise on. You tell us in profile your mom is dealing with breast cancer. She will now have a medical team and I would discuss this with them. Visiting nurses can be ordered and paid for on most supplemental policies.
Good luck.
