home health referral in CA

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a home health agency in Los Angeles?

My parents are coming to visit in May. They've decided to stay at a hotel

with a wheelchair-accessible shower. They are also interested in having a

home health aide come in to assist.

Vera or Bill , have either of you used anyone or know anyone?

Ray in Las Vegas, are you still considering doing a book on travel for the

disabled? I have some thoughts about it for you if you would like. I was

frustrated in my search for a nice hotel room that was accessible. Even the

good hotels are lacking.

Thanks,

Cindy

Cindy:

I live in Orange County so I am not too familiar with the Los Angeles

Agencies, but I will ask around for you. I do have first hand knowledge of

several in orange county since we had help for both my mother-in-law and for

Ken for many years. You might call your local branch of VNA (Visiting Nurses

Association). They have branches all over and were our providers for hospice.

They do provide helpers here I know.

Cindy,

I'm working on the book, however, the book is mostly for those who can still get outdoors and fish, hunt, etc. Would be happy to include a chapter on hotels, however, for most hotels, if you call ahead and demand a handicapped accessible room, most will oblige. IF NOT, go to another hotel.

Also, If they have a handicapped room on anything other than the first floor, ask about their emergency procedures. For example, if there is a fire, who will make sure that you get out OK? If there a "safe area" (This is required in all new construction, not existing buildings) where you can go in case of an emergency like a fire.

I can give you some more information on this if you would like.

I will be interested in hearing whether you can have home health services

while traveling. In TN, we have been told that you can have home health

services only if you do not leave you home for anything other than doctor's

appointments.

Good Luck!

Is that true if you are self-pay? It seems that you should be able to hire

whomever you want and need if you're paying for it yourself.

That's the way it works in Kansas also. If they discover you can leave

the house, you no longer have an option to continue with home health.

Sally,

No wonder Dorothy left Kansas ) Brownback is also from Kansas ) And he

is SO worried about life )

Note - most states are relenting on going to church (and we always had to

stop and rest at my daughter's home on the way home from church ) Guess

they figured it was hypocritical to claim family values and to ban church.

Take care, Bill Werre
