[quote=Anonymous]I was raised my a single mom who had me later in life and she now has advanced dementia. Put differently, I'm in a similar bind, also found the hospital social worker useless (and cruel), understand how stressful this is, am sending you lots of good energy. My only suggestion is to make sure that the doctors are clear with you regarding precisely why they are recommending SNF and then trying to find workarounds to address those issues (recognizing that you might be choosing the least of the evils among the workarounds). For example, my mom's doctors recommended 24/7 supplemental care for my mom while she already in a facility with daily visits from me. After some pressing and explaining the services she already was receiving in assisted living, it boiled down to needing to ensure that she was agreeing to take her meds on time. I'm exhausted but I've taken that on myself, and it's been doable for a couple of months.[/quote]
