    You should qualify for post acute care, which will supply 3 days of dressing supplies and 7 days of home visits. Following that, you can do a search and find your local HACC/PYP provider in your local government area and call them to see if they can help.

      Because it’s super easy to dislocate your neck to see what you’re doing when dressing your own butt crack…

        I’ve seen some people try with a mirror!

          I was being sarcastic. I’m sure something less than perfect could be achievable, but really assistance required

      I’m on OVHC and unfortunately my insurance provider doesn’t cover this service :(

        Might still be worth a call. My workplace (too far out to help you) routinely services people who don’t fit traditional funded services with low fees. We don’t like to see people not serviced.

          post acute care

          Ok thanks @Eagle, I will give them a ring and find out. Actually, “The Post Acute Care (PAC) Program provides short-term services and support forthose who need extra help at home after a public hospital stay”. My stay was at a private hospital unfortunately but I can still call and find out :<

            You might have more luck with the HACC/PYP services, or a GP clinic, even if you can reduce the dressing frequency to 2nd daily. It’ll probably be Bolton Clarke. They should have the ability for you to pay a fee for service, but they are a private company and can be pricey. Its worth a look though. And it’s a shame you’re not further out, we’d be happy to look after your butt crack for whatever you could afford!
