Intermittent or daily services would be tailored to specifically meet Hairy Sr.'s needs. They could be as sophisticated as intravenous chemotherapy, parietal dialysis, and
cadd pump pain management. Or, they might be shopping, preparing meals, making sure he takes the correct medication, or simply providing a little assistance to get him
started for the day or settled for the night. Any service provided would be available for as long or as short a period as Harry Sr. requires.
Harry Jr. feels helpless. He knows that even the most minor household tasks are becoming a
major challenge for his father. And he can't be there to help. He’s called his sister, his doctor
and relatives for support, but they can only do so much. A nursing home is out of the ques-
tion. He feels he has no one to turn to for support. Health Watch Home Health can help.
