[quote=Anonymous] I mean...do you think she will recover some mobility in rehab? If so, maybe she can go back to her apt-but she needs 24 hr care, sounds like. If she can afford, and find it. If it was me, I think I'd be looking at SNF (nursing homes). Between the mobility and the dementia, that's probably where she needs to be. I had an aunt who thrived in her SNF. She was 88 and had broken her hip-could not live in her upstairs apt anymore (never married no kids). The home was an older but very clean and cheerful facility (which has since been demo'd and rebuilt) and a shared room. Aunt, who had lived alone for many years, all of a sudden had people to talk to, went to bingo, crafts, performances...the aides loved her and would brush and braid her long hair. Extended family visited nearly every day. She was there 2 years before she passed, and we are certain she was better off than if we had parked her upstairs confined to her apt.[/quote]
