Helpers Anonymous: A Disabled Woman's Experiences with Home Care During the Opioid Epidemic
A sudden rise in opioid addicts coinciding with a sudden drop in legally available opioids, created a desperation for prescription drugs never seen before in this country. Physicians shut down their previous practice of repeated refills, once the death toll was too high to ignore. As hospitals and rehab facilities instituted drug testing and CORI checks to ensure employees were clean, one health-care option stood alone as a place to easily obtain painkillers. That place was home health care.
Jeanne Tiberio tells her story of living with her personal care attendants on the front lines at that turbulent time. Equal parts comical and heartbreaking, Jeanne invites us into her world, as she struggles with and adapts to living with a neuromuscular disease.
