But will not have more therapy. They are garnishing her savings. We both use it at times for bills and rent. I have small SSDI every month. I can't afford aides. I will need a bed and hoyer lift if she comes home. She doesn't have dementia, just forgets sometimes. She is afraid to walk or stand. I don't know what to do...
Who is "they". No one can garnish without a court order. And if garnishing it is for an old debt.
Need more info.
If she needs a hoyer lift, she should not be coming home. When my mom had knee replacements, I said she needed to be able to get into the house and walk the distance from her bedroom to the bathroom without assistance. Then and only then could she come back to my house. You do not want a bedbound person being 100% dependent upon you for EVERYTHING. It's just waaaay too much.
Sounds like her care is way beyond you now.
Tell us more, and we can help you develop a plan.
A Hoyer Lift "technically" should have 2 people operating it. (although in the home it can be done with 1 person but they can be unwieldly and until you are used to it 1 person is a little "iffy")
She should go to inpatient rehab
The hospital bed can be ordered by her doctor. the Hoyer lift should also be provided by Dr order but again I stress that it is not an easy piece of equipment to use right off the bat.
Why not? Is this a funding issue? Pain? Behaviour/lack of cooperation/cognition issues?
What is the expected outcome, or expected mobility as advised by the Physiotherapist? Has the PT recommended hoist transfer? Why?
I would think in-patient rehab would be the plan if she is not suitable for home-with-visiting-Physio.
