Looking for help.
Hi! I’m the care partner for my grandfather’s PD dialysis. The original plan was to have a couple family members involved to assist (please note that my grandfather and grandmother can’t run the machine) but unfortunately that plan hasn’t been working out.
Family members all fall into the following categories: refuse to be involved/claim to want to help but flake/wants to help but has a mental breakdown crying when the time comes/shows up on occasion to critique me but won’t commit to helping. Lol.
I need to have some sort of back up option for emergencies or if I get sick. Does anyone here have experience having a nurse come in to help sometimes and how finding someone to do that generally goes? Is that even an option?
I plan on reaching out to the clinic to inquire about this as well but would deeply appreciate any insights that can be provided here. Thank you.
