My mom was hospitalized for a serious UTI in late August since then she has been treated & transferred to a SNF.. and has since exhibited signs of confusion, delirium, hostility EMOTIONS (crying everyday).. I have been told by the LPN & AIDES (when I go see her @ night after work) that they've been discussing her care & there's "not much more" they can do for her there by way of OT/PT bc its a mental thing @ this point. I've contacted the social worker & have not heard back as of yet.. but her mental health is failing, so I'm wondering would/can they involuntarily commit her? (AND I HAVE YET TO GET A PROPER DIAGNOSES FROM THE HOUSE PSYCH DOCTOR)
Is she being trialed on any antidepressant or antianxiety meds?
They will not be able to continue ot/pt paid by Medicare if she's not making progress. That does not mean that the will commit her somewhere.
I don't think I've ever gotten a psychiatric dx from the psych who sees my mom. Just treatment for her symptoms.
