[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 257484, member: 84"] I had to attend a meeting at the nursing home today. Gave me a PTSD moment as it reminded me so much of an IEP meeting.:raspberry-tounge: Nursing home SW was there (more experienced and knowledgable than hospital sw) PT, dietary, Nursing, and Activities Director. Nursing- all they're doing is helping her transfer from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to commode ect. And pain management is their biggest thing. (already knew that lol) PT - he was the heavy hand in all this as that's the reason for her admit. He says mother in law is doing very well and has progressed nicely. He says he believes they can get mother in law up to walking within a week. *Good luck bub, I've been talking to mother in law, that's a no go. She's not wanting to deal with the level of pain it causes.* (can't blame her either) Dietary nor Activity director had input as they don't apply. Guess they were there just to look good. lol Any how...........SW nor PT feels mother in law's insurance (combo GM and medicare) will pay for her to remain for more than a week longer. Then they will expect her to return to home (with in home assistance) or to assisted living. But her current level of care doesn't warrent her remaining in the nursing home. Ok. So. This answers when she'll be moving. Just doesn't tell us HOW she's gonna manage it.:knockedout: Unless sister in law is going to come up and live with mother in law until the house sells..........Home is a definate NO. Which leaves assisted living. Sister in law didn't talk like they were full, but then she didn't say they had a spot open either. Waiting on her email back now. I just love how they sort of dump this on the family and you're just expected to [B]make[/B] it all happen. Her insurance will not pay for mother in law to remain in nursing home after a week, yet will also not help pay for assisted living, nor someone to come in and stay with her. Guess insurance co's don't see how that doesn't make any sense?? Or don't care. Most likely the latter is true.:angry: So will wait to see what husband's brother and sister in law think of this latest wrinkle. Makes me ticked that when I asked about what would happen after her 20 days were up they made it sound as if mother in law could stay on with a deductable when evidently that won't be the case. Unless you count 100 percent as a deductable. grrrrr These people are driving me nuts. It appears my first week of a new quarter will be moving mother in law. Great. Terrific. Just the start I wanted.:ashamed: Vent/whine over by the way already told my mother that when it's her turn someone else gets to deal with it. I plan on playing the *too far away* card to the hilt. lol [/QUOTE]
