Recently, we have had to get my mother in law into a nursing home for some ongoing therapy so that she can continue to live at home.
I thought that this would be no big deal, and a few weeks of therapy she would be home?
Not so, their is a tremendous amount of bureaucracy involved, and they want to get as much money out of the families and the medicaid as possible.
We naively thought that my wife could stop in once every other day and see how she was progressing???
Yeah right!!!!!
Like any corporation, they are paramount in protecting themselves, and making sure you can't blame them for anything?
They miss communicate, and tell my mother in law conflicting orders?
My wife has ended up going every day, and over see what is being done, and trying to correct the miss communication, so that her 86 year old mother can fully understand what she is supposed to be doing.
They constantly call my wife and have her over for meetings where one person says one thing and the other says something else???
Bottom line???? If you want your loved ones safe, even in a reputable nursing home, you need to be there and oversee what is going on.
Ok ranted enough, going for a run with my wife so she can relax and forget about agravation for a few hours.
take care and check back later.
