Hi. I need advice. Mom lives in an independent living facility and is 92. She broke her hip but has done well in rehab. She is scheduled to be discharged in 3 days. The day of her discharge, in the morning, of course, she must be at the hospital across the street from rehab to have her catheter for dialysis replaced. Then she goes to dialysis that night. I want to have her stay at rehab extended 1-2 days so this is stabilized and not rushed, but her rehab has insisted on the term date? Any ideas on how to extend for a day and coverd?
Best of luck getting the social worker to help you get the extra day paid for by M/C.
Have you gotten the discharge notice? You can appeal it, but talk to the therapists first about whether they have any wiggle room.
Is mom being discharged because she is no longer making progress?
