[quote=Anonymous]And f you can afford in -home care, then do that. I recommend Care with Love, or Right at Home, or Capital City Nurses. But the next time he falls, call 9-1-1 and get him to the ER. From there, when it’s time to discharge him, you can tell them it’s an unsafe discharge to go home and he needs skilled nursing to strengthen his balance. This will prompt the hospital discharge planner to get him into a skilled nursing facility for temporary stay and PT/OT assistance that insurance will pay for, as long as he is admitted from the hospital and not from home. I’m sorry this is happening to your dad and your family, OP. Elder care is so expensive and sometimes you just need a little respite care to bridge the gaps until you figure out what to do……[/quote]
