Even those totally immobile should at least get range of motion therapy so they don't get contractures. Before she went to the NH I had my mom doing some very simple chair exercises - it helps with circulation if nothing else.
Medicare will pay for in home physical therapy when prescribed by her doctor. The therapist can show her and her caregivers exercises that are doable for her situation. My dad has had this for the last few months and it’s been good, though he’d be the last to admit it!
