AC_Eddie Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 My wife's Mae is 84 years old with a failing kidney. We live in the USA and have nobody in Thailand capable and responsible enough to care of her. She lives on the farm in Issan. I'm reaching out in this post for intelligent suggestions short of my wife moving back to Thailand. Kaap khun krub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop mak Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Retired nurses can be hired for 20,000 bath up per month, + medication monitors etc, according to post I read here earlier (sorry can't provide a link) Contact HR in hospitals, maybe they can provide contact details for qualified nurses. Alternatives but more expensive: http://camilliancarekorat.org/th/ https://www.koonhospital.com/ Please post again, if you found a solution.

Popular Post Sheryl Posted November 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2023 A post contravening community standards has been removed. @AC_Eddie as other poster said you can hire a live in nurse but someone would need to oversee this arrangement and supervise to ensure nurse is doing her job. At 84 with kidney failure the prognisis is poor. I would frankly recommend your wife return to Thailand. It may not be for that long and she may regret it if she doesn't go. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop mak Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 AC_Eddie, Children are actually expected to take care of their older aging sick parents in Thailand. Youngest daughter usually get this responsibility. In return the youngest daughter normally inherit the family home. That aside, imagine yourself in similar situation at age 84. Your wife should pack her suitcase and return to Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
