xpost from Families helping families - related to Eldercare/ rehab
Does anyone know anything about finding a good rehab center and Live in Aid? My grandmother is currently in a rehab center but we aren't happy with the care they are giving her. I don't know where to begin in terms of researching other rehab facilities for her, nor do I know where to being to find a good live in aid to stay at her house once she gets out. She is 83 yrs old and very frail at this point.
She walked into the hospital with pneumonia and a kidney problem a month ago, and now she is in a rehab facility b/c she no longer has the physical strength to walk (she got little to no exercise at the hospital).
My family and I feel helpless - partly due to not knowing how the system works, how to find information, how to get things done for her. Does anyone know of any websites, agencies or anything at all that might give us some guidance? It's very upsetting to see my grandma being treated poorly (i.e. she told the aid at the rehab that she needed her diaper changed, and the aid checked, said no you don't, and walked away. also, my aunt visited her at 2:30 and she was still in her pj's in bed b/c no one ever came to get her out of bed and changed, nor did anyone come for her phys therapy, whcih they should have in the morning)
TIA!
