This is my first time in this part of MN so sorry if this has been asked a thousand times before.
My dad's in poor health; 83, widowed, severe arthritis, had a couple of mini strokes, can only walk 20 yards without stopping.
Anyway, he's had a suspected trapped nerve for a few days so GP prescribed tramadol.
Last night he fell at 10pm and wasn't found till my sister happened to visit at lunchtime today.
Police had to break in and the ambulance carted him off. He was confused which is what previously happened with mini strokes.
Now in. Acute medical unit.
I'm going up tomorrow(500 mile round trip), and am guessing that they won't release him till a care plan's in place.
When mum was dying there were lots of careers, and I'd like to find someone (ideally a man) to be his regular carer as he'll need help getting up and dressed etc.
How would I go about hiring someone?
I'll probably be footing the bills.
