I just want to make it clear that the evaluation on the 29th is not with a geriatric nurse or even the care manager, but with the Center for Success in Aging. I believe they may be an avenue into The Cottages at Brushy Creek - which woud be my first choice of skilled nursing facility for Mom. They are located in the same complex. This is the one where there is the long waiting list but if you say the right words, you can move up the line.
I hear and understand the deeply negative tones of your messages. Circumstances are dire and they seem to have come up on us very, very quickly which no one could have foreseen. To me the question is:
Do we move her and spend the money or do we hire help, keep her at home and spend the money? I for one would like some professional guidance which I think we will get from our care manager and the geriatric team of physicians who will evaluate. Who knows, maybe this team will come up with a "she can't last much longer like this" and we can get Hospice involved.
As far as taking anyone off the list, I can't do it until we have another plan in place and have identified who will fill in the slots. What are your thoughts?
