Well my mom finally had her luck run out about her falls. Most were near her bed, on carpet, but the last two dislocated her hip. They were not going to operate on someone in 90s, so she is back home and I'm trying to look after her. Has anyone been in this situation with broken hip or some other condition that the person was just put on Hospice? I am having trouble big time getting her diaper on, turning her. Well, with only one good hip....We were in process of spending down for Medicaid but my dad is concerned that his money (her name is also on account instead of naming her as beneficiary) will be depleted and then he won't be able to get care, like sitters, CNA, etc. The hospital also claims she has pneumonia so the situation is even worse than just the hip.
It seems to me mom needs to be in skilled nursing care. Hospice does not provide 24/7 care. Some facilities will accept her on private pay with Medicaid pending. Your dad must spend the money necessary to get her home care or facility care, spend down and start Medicaid coverage. And you should probably be applying for Medicaid for him as well.
