Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Yesterday he went back to to the wound care center and yhey put a cast on saying he could do partial weight bearing on the foot. When do you think he will be able to come home?
It means that he will be able to do more physical therapy. He will have a number of things to learn before he is discharged. He is still healing. Are you prepared to pay for aides to help him at home? Talk to the social worker. I got out a little earlier than planned. I hired three aides to work with me. Plus I have a husband and two strong sons. All three can easily lift me. I’m 5’1 and weigh 101 lbs. Much easier to lift and assist than an average size male.
Shirley, relax. It will still be awhile he will need assistance for some time. What do the therapists think? He will need to work hard to keep improving. The time is NOW to see what help you can line up at home. The social worker at the facility can help with that.
My Husband had foot surgery in September 2 foot surgery. He is still in rehab. Yesterday he got a cast on and he can do Partial weight bearing. This morning he is telling me that he is very homesick. What should I do about this? When he tells me that he is homesick it makes me very depressed. Please answer me soon
I’m sure the time in rehab is very difficult for you and your husband. But healing takes time.
Being at home is hard and I have plenty of help. I had a shower this morning. It took three people. My husband held me up, the aide washed me and my son held up my leg with the cast on it up outside the shower. It was much easier in the NH with the trained shower lady. Everything wears me out.
I live in an old (1852) house. Lots of senior renovations. But still difficult to get wheelchair down narrow hallways. Going outside to sit is a 2 person task.
Talk to the social worker about when he can be discharged. Talk to the physical therapist. What did the wound care center in say about him going home.
Perhaps you need to consult a counselor or your family doctor about your depression.
Amazon has a product that looks like a giant plastic sleeve that fits over your leg cast to keep it dry. A friend got them for me after an accident where I suffered a severe laceration to the bottom of my foot and a crushed tibial plateu . There is a soft rubber gasket at the top that keeps the water out.
So glad to hear husband is progressing. But, we cannot answer your questions. You need to talk to the Physical Therapist and the Social Worker. Only they can give you the answers you are asking. We are just people who are caring for family not professionals.
