Wanting to know if there’s a program or Medicare/Medi-cal covers. Needing for my elderly mother with dementia and under currently a home dialysis. We have a hospital bed but the weighing for dialysis treatment is needing to be more accurate. We currently use a hoyer with an after market scale but it’s always off the weight before. Any suggestions is appreciated. We try to get treatment under the 3-3.5 hour time so we can continue with our daily jobs. It’s me and 3 siblings that are needing some help.
I did a search and came across something called a lift scale, is that what you’re using? If so, I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be accurate whenever your mom is weighed. I may not be understanding everything, sorry.
I would discuss this with the doctor as well as the dialysis center.
I had 2 friends on Peritoneal dialysis and it was very hard on them. Both chose Hospice and passed at 63. The other was going to dialysis every week and just could not do it anymore. He passed at 70 while on Hospice.
