My sister has a need for someone to help her when my brother-in-law falls in their apartment. He is on chemotherapy and is very weak. He doesn’t need to go to the emergency room, nor does he need assisted living, or even regular part-time home nursing care. We just need to be able to call someone to help when he has weakness and falling. He is under the care of a palliative care group and an oncologist so that is not the issue. We just need help every once in a while to help him to his chair. Thank you for suggestions.

This isn't a perfect solution. My cousin mentioned to me a few months ago that their local fire department advised her that they shouldn't keep calling them to come out to help lift her parent from the floor. (Apparently they had called several times within the last few months.) And certainly, the fire department isn't really set up to do this and needs to be ready to respond to emergencies. But perhaps it could be a stop-gap for awhile.
I hope others have ideas as well. Best wishes to your family.
