MY MOM__NEED SOME HELP
My mom was put in a nursing home in May 2010....She did bad at first, but when then
with everything working with her medicines and food like she should have, she got
better, felt better, was happy....THEN BOOM!!! because she was able to get around
with a walker, go to the bathroom, bath herself, and walk with her WALKER to the
area to eat!!!!!!!!!! MEDICAID SAYS: SHE IS ABLE TO BE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT
PLACLE---IN KENTUCKY CALLED PERSONAL CARE HOME.....NO Medical STAFF....One
person on duty per 80 patients....DID NOT TURN ON THE AIR-CONDITIONER UNTIL I
MADE AN ISSUE...BEING IT WAS 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE...
Mom is not being taken care of: 1..Got sick, sister ask they call doctor...they did but didn't bother to get antibodies....That was SUNDAY....I Go ON THURSDAY ..She is sitting at the dining table cause they said she had to until 8:00p.m. to get meds..
I find her with a high fever....coughing....I demanded to know if she had been on the medication NO............THEY FORGOT TO ORDER IT........
2. She goes ask for her medicine at 2:00 p.m. regular time...Is told "I'm busy, don't have time....
3...Asked to be helped to take bath....girl says be right back..NEVER RETURNED...
She has fallen 6 times since the first of March....Been taken to the Hospital several times.....Been congested and sick almost the whole time....
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE MARCH 2, 2010
NOW, we have doctor order's that she needs more care...YET...we are getting conflict from the Nursing Home...that says Medicaid won't pay if she can do certain things.....AT This time they are refusing admission......
WHAT TO DO?????WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS???I WISH I COULD CARE FOR HER, BUT CAN'T..........USED TO BE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET OUT OF NURSING HOMES....NOW
CAN'T GET MOM IN WHERE SHE NEEDS THE CARE AN 85 YEAR OLD WITH A STROKE IN HER RIGHT EYE AND BARELY CAN SEE OUT OF IT....COPD....FALLING PROBLEMS..MOST OF THE TIME WEAK....
WHAT CAN I DO................ANY SUGGESTIONS....MOM LOVED THE NURSING HOME, IMPROVED SO MUCH....NOW SHE IS SOMEWHERE THAT NO ONE EVEN CHECKS ON HER.............NO PHONES IN ROOM....AGE OF MOST IN THE PLACE SHE IS AT IS 70 AND YOUNGER..WHO CAN GET AROUND ON THEIR OWN PRETTY GOOD....
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE....MY MOM DESERVES GOOD CARE.......
