Grandma, 91 with dementia, was admitted into the hospital Dec 31 for a torn hip. Can I do anything to convince them to not move her again?

She was transferred to a nursing home on January 8, she went from a 40% decline to now in nursing home 95% really really dramatically gone down hill. I met with the nursing home because she wasn’t progressing so they are discharging her on Monday the 27th . The nursing home where she’s at said they don’t have a bed available so she will be moved yet again. My grandma's health is going down hill. My question is can I do anything to convince them to not move her again? She’s not doing well at all sleeping all the time.

I’m so sorry this is happening. Please speak to her doctor. He may be able to intervene. Also, talk to her social worker.

Did u tell them that there is no one to care for her? They have to discharge her to a safe place. Does she have a PCP. Get him involved. Call your state Ombudsman. NH should have the number. If not its under State government in the phone book or online.
