At least that is a move in the right direction. She was very argumentative with us but got very quiet when they arrived and of course was very cooperative. We told them everything we knew so hopefully they will admit her otherwise not sure where that will leave us. Morning rant
After she'd been in the facility for a while, they got to see the real side of her as she tried to beat up another resident because he said something she didn't like! I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this!
1. She's a danger to herself and/or others.
OR
2. You are unable to give her the care she needs.
I may be wrong and I am sorry if I am!
If your Aunt is deemed 24/7 care this is when you ask about placing her. If she can afford MC, straight there from the Hospital/Rehab. If she has no money, then LTC with Medicaid. My Mom was in her last stage of Dementia when she entered LTC. She had to be helped with everything but feeding herself. Otherwise she was healthy. Hopefully if sent to rehab, they have LTC in the same building. If so and she fits the criteria, she can transition to the LTC side.
Do not allow the NH to do the Medicaid Application. They can help but you be aware of what is going on. You may only have 90days to complete the process. In my State its 90 days to apply, spend down and get info needed. I dealt with a Medicaid caseworker. I really am bad about depending on others to do their jobs. I started the application in April. Placed Mom May 1st, she privately paid May and June. June I confirmed with the caseworker he had received everything needed and July Medicaid started.
