Are there non emergency numbers to call for random in home help with a senior?


For example, if I need help moving my mother out of bed to change dirty sheets?


Thanks for any and all advice.

I would call your local Area Agency on Aging. They can be a great resourse to help you find a service that can help.

Is your mom on Medi-Cal for insurance? You might contact them to see if she would qualify for any home health type services. Does she have a case manager you could contact?
Here is a link that might be helpful.

Not that I have ever heard of. If you have any resource at all from Doctor to rehab you might ask them. I wish you luck. I have heard of lift teams but that is specific to falls and wouldn't know then even how to contact.

I just read your profile. You have too much on your plate! I am sorry that you have these struggles.

You have a baby. You are an only child. You are caring for your mom who has many health issues.

To answer your immediate question, you can call an agency, such as Visiting Angels.

They usually work in four hour shifts. They will do light housekeeping, prepare snacks and light meals. They will bathe her and help get her dressed. They will sit with her if you need to run errands.

Why have you cared for your mom for 11 years? Do you intend on continuing to care for her? She is only 64! She could live for several decades. Is your mom divorced or a widow? Do you have a partner to help with your baby?

This is a lot to take on with a baby. You are so young to be her primary caregiver.

Have you spoken with your mom’s social worker about making a plan for her to possibly be placed in a facility?

Some facilities offer respite care for the caregiver to have a two or three week break. During Covid this may not be available. Call and see what the price is and if it is offered.

Did your mom do rehab after her stroke?

What does her doctor say about her future health?

Is she on meds for her mental health issues?

Do you live with her or her with you?

Tell us a bit more information and the forum will try to help you.

Best wishes to you and congrats on your new little baby!
