[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have “aids” 3 days a week I mean. They are always different person despite what we asked for- they aren’t bathing her because she’s resisting.  But they swore that was their “benefit”.  That’s really not helping.[/quote]

Aide services send who is available, not necessarily the same person. I do discharge planning and hear this from families all the time- we want the same person every time. It's never going to happen unless you hire that person directly. And aides cannot force anyone to bathe or do anything else if they don't want to. 
If she refuses in assisted living but cannot do it herself, they will recommend long-term care.[/quote]

Good info. Yes she refuses to bathe and goes weeks without shower. Yes she refuses with home health apparently snd my husband doesn’t make her. 
Do you think shell get approved for assisted living? They are doing evaluation next week. 
 The home health company never told us it would be different person as often- and they sold us on being able to get them to bathe and they aren’t, guess they should have stated all that.
 She is with it sometimes during day. Can barely walk- dementia is on and off but pretty bad after 4 pm. She won’t bathe but she lies and tells us she gets up in middle of night before everyone else baths. [/quote]
