I’m thinking of transferring her to a rehab she was in for PT for a previous post hospital visit who were delightful, but the PT just wasn’t enough. This time the PT is top notch but the care such as helping with the bathroom lacks all compassion. She asked for help and 2 hours later they brought a commode. Now she’s wet herself and they let her sit in it. I feel it’s unacceptable for a rehab facility. Thoughts? I’m thinking of transferring to the rehab she was at previously.
How old is she?
Why is she in rehab?
What will her care situation be when she is released from rehab, if she rehabs sufficiently?
More info would be helpful.
If you decide to move her however, make sure she goes to another rehab and not a skilled nursing facility which it sounds like her previous setting may have been. A rehab facility requires three hours of therapy a day whereas a skilled nursing offers much less. Unfortunately, there’s not always a good way to tell if another facility is going to be better. I hope your mom continues to do well in therapy.
