I just got a call from the nursing home and my mom's insurance is looking at the 12th for discharge. There is no way she can come home. Any advice?

Thank you she is at the nursing home in rehabilitation center the good news is that we won the appeal by just with what I told them they didn’t get all the medical merecords she is good until we get another letter from her insurance she has an advantage plan it was the only option because my dad worked so long and they just went with part c so by the time she let me help her they were too sick and were denied she isn’t eligible for Medicaid because she has a farm appraised at 2.7 million dollars that’s what my brother has been going crazy about now he is done with her because of what my dad will said I know he has lived and breathed the farm my mom does cash rent with him I went to college and started my life he chose to stay but he holds it over my head anyway my daddy split everything down the middle and if I passed before my husband it went to him and then to my nieces but my daddy didn’t want my sister in law in the will his choice so my brother is going nuts he said where has my husband been the last 32 years we were always there when my parents needed us and he was working anyway my mom still is alive and it’s hers so I feel if she needs to get more care when she is done or if she likes being in the environment she should be able to sell it and she will be happy and not alone she is really enjoying being around people otherwise she is out on the farm alone my sister in law doesn’t visit only one niece visit every couple of weeks that’s lonely i think it’s for the best but I know my brother will go crazy one day he is saying we shouldn’t cut her down which he does and the next time he is calling her the devil who calls their mother that

Maybe it's time to file for Medicaid. Seems to me Mom will need 24/7 care you can't give.

I think Katie means call the SW at the nursing home. She's not in the hospital now, is she?

Yes, ask the NH to help you file an appeal.

Talk to the social worker at the hospital. They cannot discharge her back home. Remind this person in discharge planning that she is very far from safe in her home, and they know this just based on that last few weeks. Insist they find a placement for her...it is dangerous for her to be alone, Be insisting!
