Is there any list which can show who I can contact pertaining to providing nursing services or care services at the home of the Client who is disabled or critically ill?

Call your state's Ombudsman's office. They help with the elderly and disabled. Also contact Medicare. The Doctor should also help you in who to contact. Local hospice if the situation calls for that.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Well, it is an opinion you asked for, so opinion you shall receive. My belief is that a person should only remain in their own home if they can manage on their own. By this I mean, mow the lawn, do the laundry, wash the floors, cook, clean, shop, repair what needs repairing or at least recognize the need and call a repairman, and has enough money to subsist without welfare. They need not be able to drive, but should be able to pay for a cab. They need to be fully independant or they are a drain on someone somewhere. Single aging persons do not need all the space in a complete family home, and don't use all the space. Downsizing is an option, as is moving in with adult offspring. A further option is to move into a retirement community which provides assisted living, and still allows the aging person to live independant of nursing home care. Every effort should be made to allow these aging persons to live with the dignity they have earned as long as it does not become a burden upon others. No one anywhere has the right to become a burden intentionally or unintentionally. No one anywhere is responsible for the care of anyone else unless they take on that responsibility (with the exception of course of parents with young children) And a final opinion: Everyone, everywhere should be WILLING to take on the above responsibilities, but no one should be forced to. Responsibility if not felt does not exist. If felt, it is the genuine article and should be dealt with appropriately.

There are agencies in the yellow pages. You can pick from registered or practical nurses, certified nursing assistants or home health aids. They will come to the house and care for the patient. The agency can help you deceide which one is best suited for your needs.

contact your state's Department of Elder Affairs. They will send you a booklet of what's available in your area. For my Dad we used Kelly Services (their nursing care branch). Does the person you're inquiring about really need nursing care or do they just need homemaker services? Kelly can provide both.

Contact their physician so that they can get a case manager involved.
