Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Mom's 86 and has lived alone up until the fall a couple of days ago. ' just wondering what to expect in the next few weeks. I live out of state but I do have a sister that lives about 50 miles away from Mom.
COVID Will Probably be your first hurdle. Then, the other parts if we didn't have this COVID issue. Anything below I wrote may be difficult with covid. She will probably need physical therapy. Talk with social worker at the hospital. They should offer you the 30 - 90 day plan to be placed in a nursing home with physical therapy, until she is better or healed a bit. They will say she cannot live alone. So start now by looking at all your options on where she is going to live. The closer to you or sister, the better for mom. My aunt fell and broke her hip a few years back. She was sent to a nursing facility to heal. That day came, when they said her medicare time was up, and she cannot go back to her apartment. She needs to be placed, and since you don't have time to find a place, she can stay here, but it's going to cost you. Fortunately, I have been around the block a couple times, and I said I understood, and handed the administrator the paperwork for aunt's new place. That woman just looked at me, and didn't understand how I found something so quickly. I took those 30 days or so, and did my homework, and looked and found a place close to me that I liked. So, start looking for a new place for mom. If your mom can afford it, you can hire a staffing agency, and make sure they are fully covered and bonded for their employees. If you can find a place, and her insurance can pay for it, find one with physical therapy to get through the hip replacement. NO worries, more people will pop up, probably with more experience, and better suggestions. Take everything you read, get your sister on this site, and talk it over. Mom needs t be close to a family member. Talk to the insurance, medicare, or health care. Any other family members, or just you and sister... talk it out. So if insurance does not supply a walker or anything, which you may not need right now, but start looking at Goodwill or second hand stores. My friend needed one for his mom, and asked if I had an extra..Yup, I went to the goodwill and picked one up for $6.00. Physical challenges for a total hip replacement...I am not sure, I know that is a more common surgery now than years ago..Talk with her doctor. I do not have any experience on that part.
