Fell in Jan. Broke femur and shoulder. Went to rehab Feb. had sat back from Congested heart failure. Heart attack in April and catherlization. went in rehab agsin. Heart attack back to rehab and back in hospital with chest pain and congestive heart failure. Going today to rehab to see if she can start to walk. If she can I can bring her to my house with home care??? I am alone and no one to help me. I have less than 30 days for rehab before I have to look about the true picture of home or long term nuring home. Mom says she is not going to stay at a nursing home but I have no other options for help. Any suggestions ??? Please help because I am soooo tired.
Is she cognitively well enough to be reasoned with? Encouraging her to improve her mobility would be a great kindness to both of you.
Whether she is able to walk again or not, it sounds like she could only stay in her own home if she could afford 24/7 caregivers. She can't live in your home because of the toll it is taking on you. What are the options besides a nursing home?
Spend the next 30 days setting her up in a nursing home.
Good luck.
