Have you tried looking into a retired RN who might live in one of the RV parks down there? We live in RV resort and there are many retired nurses willing to help out people. They do it for the “need” not compensation. Maybe put ad in paper. My husband had transplant in 2009 then lost his bladder to cancer in 2016.

If you can find someone willing to come in without ostomy experience but willing to learn they are not that hard to change. I had to learn how to empty and change my ostomy in March after two strokes, one in November and the other in December, and my ostomy surgery was in August, and throw in 100 days in rehab. There are people on line showing how they empty and change their ostomy, all are good, some better than others. I take it your mother can empty/clean her own bag/pouch/appliance. (I have a retired hair dresses who comes to my home to cut my hair, for no fee.) I might check the local hospital or doctor's office to see if they know of someone who would be willing to help. Good luck. mlmcg

hair dresses? hair dresser! mlmcg

Hi Joan @gerda90,

Besides the excellent suggestions given by @ktaubman and @mlmcg, you could also look into asking a "Wound Care Specialist."
Here are two websites, that might help:
– Wound Care Centers https://www.woundcarecenters.org
– American Board of Wound Management https://portal.abwmcertified.org/ABWMweb/Directory/ABWMcontent/Directory.aspx
