[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Nanny’s mom ended up staying at the hospital because apparently she had a stroke and none realized it until a nurse (who speak their language) realized that the mom cannot be released yet. Also, doctors recommended a rehabilitation facility because mom needs to learn how to walk and be self sufficient (she was perfectly healthy and normal before Covid).

Apparently nanny’s sisters disagree with the doctor and want my nanny and her husband to take care of mom instead. It’s a really bad situation. I also just found out that of the 4 guests of the nursing home, 3 died in a matter of days from each other, but apparently it was not Covid. The only one that was spared lived on a different floor.

Nanny thinks her mom should stay at the hospital and then go to a rehab facility where there are nurses, physical therapists, machines, etc., but she won’t go against her sisters desires.

Now I worry that when mom is discharged, she will come and stay with us and she won’t get the care she needs and will never recover... I worry that she might die and then we will all be responsible. As of now, she can’t walk, talk, or use the restroom on her own. My nanny is crying and I don’t know what to do or what to say.

My nanny says her mom is abandoned in the hospital and nobody is fighting for her... I can’t believe doctors wanted to release her in this condition...[/quote]

This sounds beyond stressful, OP. Once mom is discharged from tho hospital, the hospital will no longer be involved. Someone from the family should ask for a social worker from the hospital to discuss short and long range discharge plans and to make sure that she gets admitted to a real rehab hospital. (Real meaning something closer to NRH vs  a private assisted living facility that offers rehab).  The family should NOT agree to any discharge until they are comfortable with the specific discharge plans, and a hospital social worker can help them understand the various options.  
  I’m assuming that mom’s next of kin for decision making purposes would be her husband. I hope that he is also involved.  The family is also entitled to translators within the hospital if they need them.
