My uncle is 65 years old and been diagnosed with vascular dementia after two strokes in less than a month. He was discharged from a nursing home saying that he was high functional and can live on his own. I believe that he was discharged because he was being very competitive with staff and other patients. He had a psych evaluation and that's when they found out that he had vascular dementia. We live in Indiana and I'm having a problem finding a facility that can meet his needs.
I'm surprised that a nursing home sent someone home. Seems like they're usually more interested in keeping people there and keeping the money coming in. But anyhow, did he have the psych eval before his discharge?
What are his needs that most facilities are unable to meet?
