Mom is 94, bed bound with dementia. A couple toes have fungi. Hospice RN said she is not trained to do it. She said she will try to trim them when they began curling under. I live 700 miles away. Who is responsible for this? She is with hospice but before she was with Medicare Advantage plan. I have privately hired caregivers but they do not feel comfortable cutting them either.
You should likely discuss with the social workers whether coverage for a podiatrist to come in home can be got under Hospice care, but hospice care doesn't normally cover "treatments" and there is really no REASON to treat this now. I don't give you any hope that this can be accomplished but it costs nothing to try.
Again, this is now for a medical doctor if you can find one who agrees there is SOME reason to do this. I doubt that you can, but I wish you luck.
Fungus on the nail isn’t going to harm her, though I am sure it might be unsightly to look at.
