[quote=Anonymous]Great experience for my mom in the SNF at Vinson Hall in McLean VA. She was there 3 weeks post spine surgery. But I agree that daily visits if at all possible to advocate for the patient are key. There are a lot of transitions -- i.e., hospital takes over prescriptions, then SNF doctor takes over prescriptions, and it's possible for mistakes to be made. My mom is a Type 2 diabetic and we had to push like hell on both the dietitian and doctor to get them to realize that a) no, pancakes are *not* a diabetic-friendly breakfast and b) yes, when the blood sugars are dropping like a rock, you *do* need to reduce insulin. We advocated in the nicest possible yet also firm way.[/quote]
