A member asked:
My mother is 94 years old. she is now infirmed and weak. almost bedridden. she finds it difficult to get up. what should we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: I believe the correct word is confined, not infirmed. There are three options. Have a physician visit to her home, send her to a local hospital or refer a hospice for the end of life care.
