How can I hire a caregiver while in treatment at Mayo Clinic?
Hello. I will be getting CAR T therapy in Rochester. How can I find and hire a caregiver? Relatives can only provide limited support. Any suggestions appreciated.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.
Hi @shadow99, welcome. I added your question to the CAR-T Cell Therapy group and the Visiting Mayo Clinic group so that more people will see it. I’ll bring @lmindela into this conversation. He works at Concierge Services at Mayo Clinic and will likely have services that he can recommend. Others may have suggestions before Lawrence responds on Monday.
Shadow, I also suggest that you contact social work at Mayo Clinic. There is a social worker assigned specifically for people going to have CAR-T Therapy. She can help you find caregiving support. Have you met her yet? If not, I can help.
Not yet. I think I am ahead of the game right now.
Hello @shadow99, they are several services around Rochester for hire. You can either hire a companion without nursing services, or you can hire skilled nursing services. Below are some of the caregiver providers. Let me know if any of these will work, otherwise, we can find other companion services.
