My mother is 88, has cancer and is in a nursing home. They have been giving her therapy but have given up. She just can't get up onto a walker or walk. She has an abdominal drain tube and a catheter that gets changed every 30 days. She sometimes has low blood oxygen and has to go on oxygen for a little while. No actual cancer problems yet except the drain tube. In spite of this she feels that she would be able to go back home for a while. We have a friend that is available 7am to 7pm that has elderly care experience. Have any of you had a parent be able to leave a nursing home with this many problems? I think she will wind up back in the hospital in no time. Some people have said that I could get into trouble as her responsible party if I assist in this plan. This is probably a common problem with us retirees. Those of us that are lucky to have parents still alive all have elderly parents. Thanks in advance. She qualifies for hospice to change the catheter and drain the abdominal bag, check blood oxygen daily etc.
