I live with my husband, but he has a health problem and needs to go into hospital for maybe a week. Family don’t live close and would come but have children, jobs etc so not a good idea. Anybody do this or have experience of it, so can advise? (I have SCA (no number) so have balance & mobility problems and use a stick inside and out)
I live alone and don’t have a problem. If you are concerned there are things like Life Alert that you can get. Contact your local hospital. Life Alert isn’t the only game in town. I also checked and there is a feature that if you fall they will send help. Don’t know about the UK but if you contact your local hospital they should have something.
planning ahead is probably the best idea. Stock up on essentials for the freezer and larder, and arrange to have people call you/or call them at regular intervals:slightly_smiling_face:
A chat with a local taxi company could be helpful, you would probably be able to arrange a ‘block booking’ to make hospital visits easier🙂xB
My husband.works full time 15 min. from our house. I’m alone weekdays 2;00 to 6:00 pm. I wear a.medallion for.Bay Alarm Medical. Reasonable price, very courteous staff based in western USA. Our cat is good company, too.
