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.

Tall to her physical therapist. Who is saying she is unable to walk? I have had an experience recently with a friend; he is telling everyone he can't walk, PT documents that he can walk 200 feet with a walker while supervised by staff. Yes, he can walk. He is anxious about it, but CAN walk. Find out what the reality is.
The fact that your mom can no longer care for her is not justification for more rehab. It IS justification for a transition to long term care.
They shut down the rehab around a week and half ago due to the corona virus. At that time, she could only get up and sit down. I checked with the nurse a few days ago and was told she was able to get out of bed and sit in the chair with assistance. She couldn't get back to her bed on her own.
Now comes the decision...can Mom care for Grandmom if she is not able to do for herself. If not, then LTC is ur next option. If Gmom can't afford to private pay, then Mom can apply for Medicaid.

Discharged criteria is that the necessary care is in place and the home is safe.
Support your mom, let her know it is ok for her to decide the care is more than she is able to provide. Offer to help mom find a place for grandma.
They did this before about 5 or 6 years ago. My mom felt like the doctors were blaming her for repeated visits to the hospital. They were trying to setup long term care. It turns out that it was a side effect to lasix that was causing her issues. My grandma went from being bed ridden to walking up the street in a couple of days.
