feewee Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Does any one have experience and/or recommendations on in-home care services in Ajijic - preferably someone with formal nursing or elder care training. Things like changing a dressing, helping getting to/from bathroom, light meal preparation. Looking for post-hip surgery assistance in home for 3-6 weeks. The care giver does not need to live in but that would be an option as there is a casita. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REC Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I had round the clock in home care after bypass surgery and was very happy with the help I received. Contact Lidia Zamudio Cerda, cell phone 333 156 9080 or email lidiazamudio@yahoo.com.mx - much better to call. Lidia speaks great English and can arrange whatever you need including rental of medical equipment. She arranged and managed a group of very helpful women who rotated on 24 hour shifts.

maw7815 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I highly recomend Ricardo Galindo 331-746-2959 who is very experienced in the caregiving you are looking for. He has been with us now for 7 months and works 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours later in the afternoon We hired him when my husband came home from the nursing home in April after getting a bacterial infection from a cruise we were on in January. He is now using a walker after being in a wheelchair for 8 months! Ricardo now works with him in the gym and swimming pool. He is also a great cook!!

lakeside7 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 You may wish to consider a short stay in a local nursing home more cost effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Dr. Roberto Martinez used to run the Blue House, a care home for elders post-op, varying degrees of incapacity, and dementias. His wife Rosario (nurse) was there full time, and is now available for in-home care. She is very well trained, efficient, compassionate, and at ease with the type of care you require. Call 766-3558 His English is fine. Hers is limited BUT she fully understands it and has no problem communicating with English-only speakers.

feewee Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thank you everyone for your recommendations - I will research them all and share what I learn. Feewee PS: Mary Ann - I am really sorry to hear of your husband's ordeal. My husband is a serial cruiser and I had never considered the risks of cruise boat infections - this one sounds really serious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
