It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Did you go to rehab after your fracture? Have you seen your regular doctor recently?
I would start by calling your PCP and tell the scheduler that you have an urgent issue. Get seen and tell your doc how you are feeling.
I would also get yourself tested for a urinary tract infection right away. These can cause emotional and behavioral symptoms as we age, even with no other symptoms.
You got all good advice here. Please follow though with your doctor.
I also want to add that , you went through a traumatic event . I don't think some people realize the trauma an operation can cause. So be kind to yourself. Go to the doctors, and let your mind heal from the trauma as well as your body. You have been though a lot.
Fracturing a hip is serious. Were you operated on? As we age, the anesthesia effects us more. Takes longer to leave the body. Its good you recognize these problems. Now you see your PCP.
Can you tell us more. You say you are scared. Please give us some specifics. For instance: Are you scared you will fall and break bones again? Are you scared you are less strong and more vulnerable when out and about? Are you scared of something that in your own mind makes no sense to be scared of?
It makes a good deal of difference what you are afraid of. The things I mentioned above would be normal to be afraid of. It takes a long time to recover and feel strong enough.
However, if you are having feelings of paranoia, that isn't normal and you need to check in with your doc through urgent care. You could have a hospital acquired UTI infection from catheterization, or even some problems with having had general anesthesia. So gather complete information on a list and off you go to urgent care. I am hopeful you have help of friends of family?
