The family members can make a schedule of when each family member will be there to provide care so that all hours are covered. You can ask for help from your local church or synogogue. Sometimes it is necessary to be willing to let others help out, if you are to succeed in keeping your loved one in the home. You can ask for help from friend or acquaintances. You can directly hire extra help.
Help can come from nursing agencies or other sources.
Some people put an ad in the newspaper letting people know that they would be hiring a helper and specifying the hourly wage they would directly pay to helpers. Whether you have the immediate family care for the patient or relatives, or close friends, you will probably need assistance of many sorts. If the family can come together and work together, that is the very best circumstance. The hospice must meet the care needs of the patient and family unit. The services which are required to be provided include family needs for support and counseling.
