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.

We live in a building and my aunt is on the first floor. She went into her place in her spare bedroom because it was the closer than getting to her place. She doesn't want to do anything but lay in bed. She eats only bites of food. I think mentally she has given up. I feel like she thinks she will just live in her sisters spare room forever. I'm hoping to get her into a SNF using Medicare. I'm so stressed. I KNOW without intervention she will become bedbound and just die. She is satisfied just laying in bed 24/7 and letting me clean her. I'm also not working and can't even think about job searching with all this. It's all on me. I'm scared she will refuse PT because she doesn't even want to sit up against pillows let alone stand. She wants to eat, drink, talk, watch tv all while laying down. I think she will lose what little mobility she has if she doesn't get into rehab fast. The hospital has set up home PT and she are moving at a snails pace. I'm happy she can still stand and move with a walker and think with PT she can become more mobile. I think she wants to get back to her old self but doesn't want to do the work to get it. She was lazy before, now it's 1,000 times worse. She's 74 and was able bodied before the hospital. This is terrible and so stressful.
Gave her something for depression...she started doing rehab and got to come home soon.
They can remove her from rehab is she refuses to do the work, however, if she is in that much pain, perhaps she needs to be back in the hospital for evaluation. She should have a "care team" at the rehab. Speak with the leader of this group and ask about your options. The "squeakier" you are, the better care your mother will get. Do not let them move her until you are clear about her condition and their plan seems reasonable to you. Talking to the doctor directly is best...so they can't hide behind their nurse or front office staff. And don't be afraid to ask the important questions.
Factures, at this age, are really painful and take a long time to heal. I hope your Mom gets the most appropriate care.
