Hello,
My father in law is independent but has some hearing loss. He does not need assistance with daily care activities. The difficulty we are having is he does not have anyone to help him with medical procedures or emergencies. He can drive to routine appointments. However, he does not have a dependable person to help with taking him to the doctor, (for procedures when he is required to have someone with him and emergencies) and monitoring his progress after procedures. He also needs someone to advocate for him when he is not able to and is not wearing his hearing aids.
We live far away from him and he does not want to move. Anyone have any suggestions? Is this a job for home health care or geriatric case manager?
Thank you for your help,
Barbara
