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.

Is this one of the NHs that wheel the patients on the floor to the Nurses station where they will stay all day with the tv on?
However, if he had a walker that they felt wasn't best for him at this point, they should have given him one they preferred and made sure he could navigate with it. As for the electric razer, my first thought was liability as in plug it in while in the shower and turn it on - ZAP.
As a hardened veteran of many, many SNF visits over the years, I learned that what my mom was telling me wasn't always what had happened. She would complain that rehab would never do anything with her and she wanted to come home. After doing a little checking up, I discovered that she was refusing to do PT.
I was extremely hands on during her early SNF years, screaming at nurses when they ignored her, threatening to move her if they didn't work with her more but as we both got older, I just got plain tired of all of it.
Go to the nursing station to ask about the walker situation. If you are there when physical therapy visits they can help with with this question as well. As to the UA results, if you are POA just keep trying. Go to nursing station at each visit, call the social workers daily. Sometimes it is the squeaky wheel that gets oiling.
Wishing you good. Just continue to be the squeaky wheel in hopes you will get oil eventually.
I would suggest you ask for a Update Meeting with whomever does these meetings to know what is currenting going on and what to expect later down the road.
When my parents were in their separate facilities, we had routine meetings with the Staff, and it was always very informative, but that all before the pandemic and shortage of help.
