My Mom has severe dementia. Our whole family wants her settled in a nursing home instead of being in a hospital she has even ran away police had to pick her up and take her back to hospital in Canada. I took her there just to be assessed I didn't want her to live in the hospital how can I speed the long term care administrator to put her in a home can't a nurse answer my question
She spent six weeks in hospital and then another six weeks at a rehab facility. She did not cooperate with their plan and she was sent home for home health care against our request because in Canada you can't have someone admitted into a nursing home involuntarily. (unless of course they can't speak for themselves or they are not in their right mind)
It wasn't until she proved she wasn't thriving at home and was admittedly a danger to herself that a case worker and her doctor got involved and ultimately she was transitioned into a lovely nursing home where she spent a year and a half before she passed away.
If you can't afford a private facility here in Vancouver its first available bed where ever that might be. Of course you also have to be on Canada's health plan. My Mothers Canada Pension and Old Age pension covered her care.
We pay 70% with that and the government pays the rest.
Hope this helps a bit.
