My mom needs more care than I can provide her at home. She is in the hospital at this time. She receives Medicare, Medicaid, and SSD. NHs are turning her down because she is on too many medications ($$). I know they need to make their money too, but my mom needs to get care somewhere. My brother (who is developmentally disabled and needs my care) and I can't give her the care she needs. Has anyone else had this issue and is there an alternative?
I think the right question to ask is, what is each of these medications fir? Does she really need to be on it? What is/are her major physical ailments ? Are we trying to cure them? Or are we trying to keep her comfortable, not anxious and pain free?
