I am trying to take my mom out of the nursing home to her apartment. I applied for the NHTD, the application has taken forever; is anyone familiar with it? How long does it take?
Why do they make it so difficult if there is a proof the patient has dementia?
Here's the thing, mom needs a NH or she would never have been approved to be there.
Home care is having a difficult time finding workers, across the country, what do you know specifically about the workforce in your/her area?
I'm not trying to be rude but, you haven't seen a hard time until you deal with aids not showing up, maybe they bothered to call in, maybe not. Oh, some think that a twenty minute window of their starting time is acceptable and others figure leaving early is their right. Just to bring up a few things you could be facing.
Your mom has dementia, she's never going to get better, only worse.
Please don't do this because she wants to go home. That home she wants isn't within your power to give her.
