[quote=Anonymous]Op here. When she was released from rehab, the family agreed to do most of the home-based care, hoping that she'd become more independent and need less over time. The plan was to reevaluate at 3 months and again at 6 months. She's made progress and her doctors are optimistic she'll get back some of what she lost. No one knows how much or how long it will take. She can walk, bathe and toilet, feed herself, do laundry, and clean the kitchen. She can't yet cook or operate simple technology (elevator buttons, remote control). She can understand simple directions and conversation but can't speak more than a few words. Yesterday she managed to call my husband back after he called her cell phone. That was a significant milestone. Her finances are okay. DH is her POA so he knows her situation. She's only 78 and had enough to live modestly before this happened. Now I'm not so sure.[/quote]
