Mechanical aid needs, Deb Selzer

[Guest guest]

Sounds great but can an Aid Agency use the equipment? Agencies here bathe

but do NOT touch lift, suction, food machines, tubes such as stoma ports or

catheter insertion areas for fear of injury lawsuits by aid or patient.

My trusted aid, agency and I have a verbal moonlighting agreement and I pay

overtime for two person activities. This arrangement has been a great help

with non moving big guy for three years since we tried unsuccessfully for

some type of insurance coverage. Accidents happen and ours is a litigious

society.

Get the best equipment possible with an eye to the future. Salespeople may

know the product, franchises may be honorable, therapists may know their

patients needs..I hope you find everything readily available and in nearby

convenient locations.

We all try to help with hints and experiences shared...foresight better than

hinsight.. two heads better....

LA Louise wishing for more great ideas and interested insurance companies .

the IF a personal aid could be found, insurance for aid injury is hirers

responsibility. Will husband do everything or have you worked out an

arrangement with agencies to use equipment?
