Right now, in covid time, which care option is the best when amateur nursing at home is no longer enough?

Asked by Jeruba (55831points) November 28th, 2020

When someone needs more health care and attention than untrained family members can give or sustain or even physically perform, what is the best choice as things are right now?

Among hospitals, subacute care facilities, nursing homes, visiting practitioners, and I don’t know what all else, what is the best way to proceed when caring for someone becomes too much for the household? I mean right now, with covid raging and facilities overwhelmed and healthcare workers burning out. Are there any choices that seem more promising than others?

Realistically, I have to think ahead a little and consider the options. I would appreciate any advice that comes from knowledge and experience.
