[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry you are going through this. Is there anything cognitively wrong with your mom? I ask because if she is cognitively fine, what caused her falls? Is she dizzy or something like that? Can she use a walker or a wheelchair? If she is going to rehab, they can advise how feasible rehab is for her and whether it is something she wants to do. Many seniors don't want to do rehab. It's hard work and they might prefer to use wheelchairs or walkers. I don't know her overall condition, but there is no reason she has to go through surgeries with extensive recoveries. If she has no quality of life, maybe she wants to be on palliative care (or hospice if she has 6 months left to live).[/quote]
