I know people have been happy with the services provided by the woman who owns this business

SKR home& health services

Seconding ded's recommendation of Waverly. I haven't used them but have friends who have and said they were excellent.

Contact the county office of senior sevices/older adults/againg/whatever the name is in each county. Part of the Health Department. They can do a needs assessment.

Thanks for the assistance everyone. I've been in hospital for over 2 weeks with elderly parent. I've slept on chairs and a cot (when lucky) and now in family room next to the hospital bed. Couldn't get ito a short term rehab--the only ones the hospital offered were 1 star medicare reviews so no thanks.

So sorry for your travail! How is your Elder doing? What precipitated the hospital stay? What level of care is required?

In my area, some of the best buy-in, lifetime care facilities will accept nursing patients when they have space, and they are excellent.

Is the hospital social worker assisting you in locating a bed and in dealing with Medicare?

Annegriet, i remember those days. It was exhausting beyond belief. I feel for you. I do hope you will get some help. Its hard to care for our elders when we are so tired we can hardly think straight.

Which county/area? I know some in Montco.

Northwest Philly--Chestnut Hill, Roxborough, Mt Airy, Manayunk

Pneumonia and very low sodium--made dementia worse.

Annegriet, Waverly Care would cover that area. One of my mom’s caregivers came from Northeast Philadelphia, right at the city limits.

For short-term rehab, look at The Hill in Lafayette Hill, Artman in Ambler, St. Joseph's Villa in Flourtown, Edgehill in Glenside.. Get out of the city limits.

PS, we should try to get together, I'm less than a mile from Chestnut Hill Hospital.

Not sure how to set messaging.

@sushipup2 Each user needs to set it up in their profile to allow others to message them. You tap their icon & it takes you to that user’s activity page. On right hand side at mid page you see ’message’ / ’follow’ etc. IF it’s set up. I looked at both yours & @Annegriet & it looks like neither of you have it set up. It’s easy to do in your profile. Tap my icon & you should see the message link on my activity page so you see what it looks like. Tap message & you’ll see the email box come up. If someone messages you a notice should be emailed to you as well as you’ll see you have a message at the notification bell at top of the Houzz page. You can read the message either in your email or at the message link at the bell.

It would be fun to meet up Sushipup2! I love Chestnut Hill Coffee and Matines and Cake and walking in the park! When I get my caregiving all set up and my life is settled.

We'll do it!
