A after a tragic fall in her assisted living facility resulting in 2 brain bleeds, my mother was placed on hospice care. She remained on hospice care for 2 years. Now just months shy of her 100 birthday, she is being released from hospice because she is stable.. My mother cannot walk, transfer, toilet, or turn herself without aid. she has a shunt in her head, terrible Arthritis (Resulting in one knee and one hip replacement) 100% hearing loss and she is blind 100% in one eye. She is stable today, but suffers with Chronic bedsores with scars all over her skin from healing ulcerative wounds on her legs arms and buttocks area. How can I get
Affordable home care for my mom.
No one will be able to care for her properly at home.
I wish you the best.
And of course if money is an issue you can apply for Medicaid for her.
And I would perhaps check with another hospice agency in your area and see if she might qualify with them. I know in the city I live in we have access to at least 5 different hospice agencies that service our city.
The fact that your mom is almost 100 alone should qualify her, and then you add all her other issues and to me it's a no brainer.
Best wishes in bringing another hospice agency on board and finding placement for your mom.
I don't think that this care should be attempted at home.
I think that if your Mom was in a in-facility hospice that their social workers should now do discharge planning to a FACILITY, not to YOUR home.
I don't understand why they are discharging her.
