[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 116925, member: 1514"] So they say she doesnt need skilled nursing care but rest home care instead which is the hold up? Look for a placement that has both and then when she needs to transition from one to the other with no problem. We had this sort of problem with my husband's grandmother awhile ago. She really didnt have any sort of major problems but at her age simply couldnt live alone anymore. She was in her early 90s and couldnt walk well anymore for long distances. She went into a rest home and was there for about 2 years and was going to be transferred into a nursing home when she became bedridden at 95 but she developed pneumonia and died right before then. My moms nursing home had a side for rest home care and a side for skilled nursing. Of course my mom was on the skilled nursing side because she was much more severe when she went in. But I saw people there who had nice rooms, the cafeteria, bingo, etc. My mom couldnt even think of participating in that sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
