Went to a facility that has AL and Long Term Care. they guarantee they will not kick you out if you obtain a medicaid number. Does not sound right. Also they determine what level of care you need can they just move you out of your nice little private room to the group room in Long Term unit? I am so scared to pick the wrong place. This place claims I will get physical therapy as long as I need it- they can get Medicaid to keep paying even after the cap. do people ever get things like this in writing?
This is how the medical field is now;all about the money.
As for PT, mom got that until she had met all of her goals. She regressed and they got her re-certified. The other day, the OT noticed that mom was having difficulty feding herself so they've set her up with adaptive cutlery. Although she no longer gets PT, she is on a walking protocol everyday.
Can you take a friend with you to listen to the "pitch" and help you evaluate?
We moved my mom to a shared room after she'd been there for about 2 months. Frankly, she was not expected to survive long after her stroke/hip surgery, but she thrived and is still there, almost 3 years later!
