[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you so, so much to all the PP's who suggested hospitalization. I was not able to make it down there due to getting sick, but my brother took them both to the ER and they both had conditions that warranted being admitted. It seems likely now that they will be placed upon discharge into a nursing facility and from there we will look into getting them on medicaid. [/quote] This is great news, OP. Thanks for reporting back. With my parent, once we got into the hospital system, we could access resources in a way we just couldn't with him at home. The social workers there did a good job of helping us figure out what to do next. One thing to know - they need to stay in the hospital three midnights to get skilled nursing covered by Medicare, so push to keep them there for that amount of time. I think this might vary state to state but worth asking the question.[/quote]
