[quote=Anonymous]yes, try to get her into rehab near you. She may not be going home for a while if ever so figure out what you need to do about wherever she's living (mail forwarding order, is there someone there who can throw out perishables in her fridge and deal with any plants/pets/etc.?). Does she have any insurance that can pay for caregivers if you bring her to your house eventually? Or while she's in rehab does it make sense to see if there's an independent or assisted living place near you that she can try? She may improve quickly once she's out of the hospital and getting good sleep. She may not. She may have more strokes, or not. It's really hard to say only a day or two in. There is a Stroke Comeback Center in Vienna and Rockville and I know people have found it helpful after the hospital/rehab portion of stroke recovery. I'm sorry, OP. I hope your mom is doing better soon.[/quote]
