I will be having knee replacement surgery soon. I am the caregiver for my wife who suffers from MS. Is there any arrangement available for h....available for her care during my operation and re-hab? She is wheelchair bound and needs significant care. Are there any arrangements paid for by Medicare?

Regarding home help care, this is what Medicare says https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/home-health-services.html

I would postpone knee surgery until you find a good alternative for care for your wife. One suggestion would be respite care in a nursing facility until you are able to get back home. Chances are that would be out-of-pocket expense, but you never know.
