Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
The state has laws about scope of practice and licensing. Otherwise it will be called malpractice. Speak to the doctor to have a visiting nurse come in. The antibiotics only need to be given in line once a day
No RN, In my State, an RN has to be on site so many hours and on call for the rest.
Since ALs have mostly CNAs, not sure they can do this since not medically trained. There are a lot of instances where family members can be trained, but the laws are different for facilities and then its the liability.
Call your State Ombudsman to see what Ohio laws are.
We administered antibiotics through a picc line on my boyfriend for two weeks in the home after he was released from the hospital. They permitted this only because his insurance was "bad." The RN at the hospital trained me and my boyfriends son on how to administer.
Everything I can quickly research says that PICC line is done in most states by RN only. I cannot know what Ohio allows.
Things are rapidly changing now in Medicine. There are times that LVN/LPNs are trained specially, and there are times that Med Techs are trained specially. Then according to the laws of the state they may administer things as specialized techs.
PICC lines and central lines, however, are quite special lines. Great care is required with them.
This is a question for you to discuss with your facility. There are often instances in which a IV nurse visits a facility to deliver IV medications and to do blood draws, etc. You will need to check all the rules and laws as they pertain to your state. I will leave that research to your online "googling" and expertise.
Back in the day it was often an admission to SNF during time a central line is needed. I don't know, given I am out of medicine now for two decades, what the rules and laws are these days. Today Nurse Practioners are typically seeing uncomplicated cases in leu of doctors, and even they have long waiting lines. Medicine is much changed. Good luck.
