[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 579276, member: 3419"] Great ideas here. This is similar to what I went through a few yrs ago with-P, but she did not own property. I placed her in a nursing facility that accepted Medicare and Medicaid. After a few mo's of detective work, I was able to determine that she actually had assets, and she "graduated" to assisted living. You're going to have to depend upon in-home care temporarily, but surely, you can see where this is going. She will need to be placed somewhere. If she has a very hard fall and breaks her hip, it could be all over. :( However, if it's something "fixable" then moving her directly from the hospital to assisted living is the way to go. Hospitals have social wkrs that are skilled in this. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
