Need suggestions on care taker

Hi,
I am sorry, Vishranthi is only for women. I shall try to get numbers of homes or nursing people soon.

 

hi san,

i have a different opinion (may be it is only a different perspective). You can leave your granpa with a relative as a paying guest. Or u can just enrol him in the senior citizen homes for a month or two. u only have to pay deposit.This takes care of lot of issues - like he will not feel lonely, he will have like age members to relate to, other facilities for the senior citizens is there.

In my opinion, u can have a 24hour nurse/caretaker, if somebody else is going to be along with your grandpa, otherwise, it is a difficult decision. As far as I have come across most of these 24hours nurse/caretaker take people for ride if u are not having someone to monitor them. (Again this is personal opinion after seeing series of caretakers coming to take care my husbands chittappa)

Again the decision is solely yours,your mom and grandpa. Ultimately he should be happy and feel happy.

Have a peaceful time. hope your mom comes and takes care of things without any tensions.

Happy time knitting and enjoying pregnancy.will surely wait to see your efforts in the knitting corner.

 

Caretaker without the supervision of a family member...that too for some months is not a good option. Better not totake the risk.

My suggestion is...if there is a good Old Age Home, some admit for a month or two also. You can talk with them and arrange things. It is risky for an old man to stay at home alone with a caretaker. Homes are different. Many people of his age group would be there. He would be more secure. You can arrange for a room for him in such a place. If some local friends or relatives are there...they can go and meet him. In case of emergency they can be contacted. Think about it.
