Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Long story short: If you don't "progress" they stop the rehab. However, you need the rehab to maintain the progress you have made. Something is very wrong with our insurance system! Not everyone will be able to be what they were but they should be allowed to maintain their new normal. That did not happen for my Dad.
If the patient isn't maintaining, my mom's nh reassessed snd re-verified her for Medicare coverage. If your dad is at home, you'll need to call the doctor to have a prescription written for a pt assessment.
100 days of therapy didn't work the doctor ordered home therapy to work with him but it isn't working either I don't understand what dementia really is and I think home therapy runs out to on medicare he's hard headed I'm his daughter when I visit I try to help stretch or move his body instead of just laying there and he tells me I'm not the nurse but I keep telling him if he wants to walk he has to do things himself he just lays there and waits for someone else to do everything for him I'm glad I found a great care home he, thinks he's still therapy but it's actually his new home cause he'll never walk again and Incontinent and very demanding with dementia
Why do you think they will remain in bed? My mom's in a nh post stroke and spends most of her time in her recliner or in a wheelchair. She's content. Talk to the discharge planners, they will find a decent place.
Yep, everyday8. I hope when the time comes that I will still have the means and where-with-all to end my life on my own terms. It's very hard - beyond hard - to watch others fall to dementia and its various forms.
I am not going to follow that path even if it means setting a path many frown upon.
ive witnessed this firsthand . my aunt is wasting away in nh and no muscle rehab can be done until medicaid kicks in . i admittedly dont understand economics either regional or global but what sticks in my head is a statement gorbachev made a few years ago . " the way forward will have to be a blend of capitalism and communism " . capitalism has been caught with its pants lying around its ankles and just hasnt the fortitude to admit it yet .
This month I received the notification from the NH about the 100 day coverage exhaustion of Medicare. Very short answer: the NH placed him in what they call restorative services. What it means? They take him out of bed and with nurse's help make him walk around the facility.
Hi captain, per your response, "...what sticks in my head is a statement gorbachev made a few years ago..."
I'm not sure I'd go that far. I would prefer socialized medicine because it's the humane thing to do. That said, I'm beyond cranky that it seems as if our own government didn't truly spend time to look at other countries who already had it and learned from their mistakes before they installed Obamacare.
The following won't solve any problems addressed here, but it's interesting to see what's going on in other countries regarding this issue. If this site will allow me to post a link to this article: "Dementia: I don't want a £55 'bribe' to diagnose patients" by Britain's paper The Telegraph. telegraph.uk/health/healthnews/11222003/Dementia-I-dont-want-a-55-bribe-to-diagnose-patients.html If this site doesn't allow posting links, it was posted 6:10AM GMT 11 Nov 2014.
Not only was the article interesting, but the reader responses were just as informative, if not more so. The link for the responses is just above where the article begins.
everyday8 I feel your pain. I don't know the system of the in an outs of the medicare system but it is not for the people that work to make this country what it is today. If you are young and all ways getting in trouble and having kids that the system has to take care of then you might get medicade and live the America dream no job and no responibale . I know my spelling is not that good but I think you will get what I am trying to say.
