Mom was living in assisted living then following admiitted to a NH that provides rehab therapy currently (covered by medicare + insuarance). This runs out soon. I do not think she can do what she did before the fall without the risk of falling and due to the risk her decline in health I am afraid to move her back to assisted living as she may not be capable of caring for herself anymore. Maybe I am in denial. , returning her to assisted living might be a big mistake, Then I could loose the NH bed if she cannot make it at AL. Either way witht he huge costs mom will run out of moeny soon either way and the AL does not accept medicaid where the NH will. I am so overwhelmed. Should I hire an elder attorney to advise me?
What is the Rehab staff saying about your mother's ability to function in Assisted Living? Do they think that she is medically qualified for NH?
