Grandma – Home Care?

A lady came to Grandma's to get to know her and to offer her a sample of what home care can do. The conversation went really well, to say the least. Grandma enjoyed talking to the lady and honestly told her how she was doing. Grandma would enjoy doing something two or three times with the lady or someone else from the team. I could feel it. Grandma herself said how nice the lady was. And then, because Grandma doesn't have a care level yet, she asked how much it would cost. When €50 an hour was thrown around, Grandma was immediately against it. She wasn't 'stupid' enough to spend that much money on it. What would you do? Give it a try anyway?

Honestly, I don't understand. Is your grandma in need of care? So a degree of care is sought and is in work? If yes, then the price changes accordingly or it is paid by the care funds.

If not, I wonder what you want with a home care. A household aid can also be broken differently or even the cleaning and the large shopping can take place in the week. No one needs for body care. And in order to entertain your grandma – there are clubs, for this there are meeting places (often from the churches that offer open cafes or dementia cafes) all tailored to their age and lower physical resilience.

If she wants a "single-in-substantial", she'll have to pay him. If you want to give it to me. But I really wonder what you were expecting, which costs – so without the basis and necessity.

With a care degree 1, there are as good as no claims. I understand your concern, of course, but it must be clear to you that it either remains your financial private pleasure or you have to think about it differently. For quite honestly, of course I love the solidarity community and my charges are there to provide care-intensive people. But don't like that! I would like to say that I feel blurred when someone with public servants buys individuals to have a nice day.
1. Did you think about an emergency call? As a bracelet or necklace… then it is secured in a fall or the like.

2.How far do you live away and how much time do you have? Why don't you take the 2-3 times with the grandma?

3.How does the other social network look like? Are there friends? Is she in a club right now? How has she designed her life so far and why is it no longer enough? As you say shcon – it is no longer so easy to go among people with 85 years. That's why you do something like that for a lifetime to keep the contacts. If you don't have an active lifestyle, you don't usually want one at the age.

4.Nextly theme clubs and points of contact… Do you think that grandma is alone with concern? Do you think she's expecting a bunch of lively 90-year-olds as a welded-in band that doesn't make it happen? Look what's available for offers in your area, and then you'll take the first time. A lot of things are connected to a cafe – then go there to drink a coffee and just look at you. You don't have to appeal to anyone – completely unbinding. With clubs you go to do a back gymnastics or a water aerobics or a sitting dance or to knitting… social contact is then rather side-ranking because the goal lies on the club's goal. Even there, she doesn't have to be extroverted.

Yes, it is important to clarify what she wants and how she imagines further aging.

Oh, yeah. What he sociable? Did she go? Or do they warn for themselves? What did they do that day?
It's actually a generation that still reads contact ads. Maybe a la 85-year-old woman is looking for a good friend for exchange, coffee, board games and small trips.

Yeah, I see the difficulty. Of course, you can act badly at the distance.

At 1 I would recommend you to call each day at the same time. If the call doesn't come, you know what happened.

To 3: I read that your grandma never saw a sociable lifestyle. She didn't go among people, even without (club) hobbies busy the day… Why doesn't that work now? What changed?

What now? Your grandma doesn't have a degree of care, but is it supposed to be "passed" by the nursing service?

That's not…

If your grandma needs company to drink and talk to coffee, then you can ask the church once. There are people who volunteer to visit old people and do something with them.

The care service would be responsible for care and it comes either privately and you have to pay or if the person has a degree of care.

This sounds like a rip-off when you get in touch with a recognized nursing service nearby. If there is no degree of care, the medical service can get to determine the degree of care. And discuss everything with the doctor.

A okay, would talk to the family doctor first and involve the health insurance for this there is a care insurance. 50 € are too expensive

As I said, with care, not for private pleasure.

However, nursing insurance only comes to bear with care, not for private pleasure.

Simply check with the health insurance where it is insured

Hey.

For the first time that your grandmother wants to use help. I am very fascinated by the profession to help and care for older people. But when I am still busy with my subject, I understand the people very well during the internship and have always opened my heart for them. I find it a pity that your grandma will be overwhelmed with such a high amount. Your grandma now thinks that the helper is just so nice because she has to pay so much for it. You, your family or your grandma should be advised again because 50 euros is a gross sum.

All love and good luck!

Isn't there anyone in the family, in the circle of friends who wants to take over this for less money. I mean, with 20 euros per hour, you're well served.

Private "passing" costs just… this is totally normal.

I would then turn to one of the typical outpatient care services that you know everywhere that have a good rating. Not any "new stuffed out of the ground" or offered in meals.

Ask the industry book or the city. Or at the doctor's office, flyers from care services are everywhere. But they don't use you much if you don't want to pay for the services. Grandma has no degree of care.
