By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

After my knee replacement surgery I had this problem and I never felt hungry plus made me feel sickish. Even while I was taking prescription laxatives, drinking scads of water, taking stool softeners and fiber... it was very difficult to make headway with the constipation.
I hope her recovery goes well.
He did so well with it, that the same doctor performed a knee replacement on him 2 years later.
After spending a few days in the hospital after each surgery doing his rehab, he went home and did most of the recovery there.
He was a lovely man, bound and determined to be able to walk on his own after each surgery. He did ***everything*** his PT people told him to do, and never, ever complained about it.
It all depends on the person on whom the surgery is being done.
This was after a stroke and after the onset of vascular dementia.
I am so sorry that your family is facing this heartbreaking situation.
Some ALFs will keep a patient even though they are incontinent and bed bound. My DH Aunt was in one such for a few months. ALFs are private businesses and make their own rules. Home health can visit in an ALF.
I assume there was a reason she was moved to the ALF earlier this year that addressed the fact that she needed assistance with ADLs.
I wish her much success with her surgery. Be sure to let us know how she is doing.
The resident has to be able to stand and help with pivot with the assist of only one person. AL is not staffed to take care of a 2 person assist .

Having a broken hip at 99 with surgery is really more like a 50/50 thing.
Sorry to poo poo on your post, which I know is meant to be helpful. I just really felt the need to point out OP’s GMIL is in a much different situation.
Hope she does well.
