Mom went from hospital to rehab and then to SNH after her diabetes/insulin requirements left her unable to live home alone. Her dementia also made it impossible to have her live alone. When I visit mom, she is the ONLY resident that walks around by herself and is not bedridden. However, her inabilities because of dementia and medication put us in a dilemma. since we cannot afford to pay out of pocket for AL, we are wondering if any AL’s take Medicaid. we tried having nurses come in to her home in the past, but, as everyone knows, a nurse’s day can never be timed, so as a result her meds and levers were not checked when we thought someone would be there. We work full time and are unable to be at home with mom. Any input or feedback?
Mom had a number of people in her NH able to walk around. A person with Dementia should really not be in an AL.
