I found a wonderful assistant who came in to help after my latest hip replacement. She came every day for a few hours and kept me going; she was not here full time. (My daughter stayed stayed for a week after my hip replacement. ) The assistant came daily for a few hours after that. How did I find her? She worked full days, in turn for two families I know where member of the family was staying in the home while in hospice care. Perhaps a call to a local hospice to see if they know of people they can recommend who can do in home care for someone needing care for a few weeks. Another location that might be able to suggest someone is an Adult Foster Care home. I found I could manage during the night. She came came in during the day, fixed meals, did errands, got groceries, saw that I got my meds, picked up Rxs, did laundry, changed the sheets, etc. She did not do full house cleaning. She was worth every penny, and now as PN is increasing, she comes for 3 hours one day a week. That is enough to keep me going; I still cook, make my own meals, get my own groceries (I still drive.), but she does whatever needs doing, and now we have a regular check list that she goes through so I don't have to be telling her or reminding her what needs doing. She's probably in her early 30s, has a 1 1/2 yr old daughter who spends the time w/ grandma while her mom, my helper is here. She is becoming a very good friend. With my permission, her mother and her 1 1/2 yo daughter stopped by to say hello last week. It was a delightful visit. Good luck. Wonderful, capable people are out there.
