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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

She is back in her AL , almost no side effects.
This woman is amazing!!
1) get up the 3 steps into the house
2) walk from her bedroom to the bathroom
I also went to some of her PT sessions and helped her do more exercises in her room to help her get better faster.
Please know that if your Mom doesn't cooperate with PT or isn't progressing, they will discharge her sooner. I 100% agree that your job is to be her encourager -- with tempered expectations. I'm assuming you live together and are her caregiver... if you helped her to eat or make sure she drank enough at home, then you will still need to be on top of this at rehab since they are not caregivers there (at least this was my experience with my Aunt in rehab after a broken hip).
My Aunt (100 yrs old) had advanced dementia and kept thinking she could walk unassisted. She got out of bed at home and broke her hip. She kept doing it even in rehab. I'm just writing this in case your Mom is similar... will she attempt to get up on her own at home if she's not supposed to? If so, this is a problem that needs to be addressed.
Like waytomisery said there's not enough information for us to give you any suggestions.
Talking to the doctors and nurses, might get you some idea of her health.
Best of luck
Some elderly do not recover enough to come home without 24/7 care . And if 24/7 care will not be an option at home , then placement in either assisted living or SNF becomes necessary . Hiring 24/7 help at home is more expensive than AL or SNF.
When you have more info available about how Mom is progressing that will help you .
