Definitely agree with your plan to get a caregiver and nurse. It will be very helpful to have someone there to help you with showering, getting dressing, getting food or heating it up, help with meds and going to the bathroom. Getting the binder on and off to go to the bathroom takes some effort. My sister stayed with me a few days post release from the hospital overnight but I had people come and go and check on me for days after that. See if you can get a recliner in your stay. It’s easier to use than the bed at the start. Let me know what questions you have.

I’m having mine in Scottsdale. How do I find a caregiver and nurse from that location?
