[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she has any awareness, you can't do memory care. If her main medical issue is falling but she is mobile, then assisted living with 24 hours aid. SNF is for those immobile and needing actual medical care. They will try to keep/make her as immobile as possible since easier for staff to care for multiple patients. [/quote] Yes. So terrible. But that is the issue. It is hard to care for the elderly. UTIs run rampant, and symptoms mimic dementia. Patients are then drugged for dementia, which hastens the end. If there is no quality of life left, then that is one thing. But if someone stands a chance of recovery but ultimately dies because of an untreated UTI that is hard. [/quote]
