Basically whats happening is that the insurance company is trying to kick her out of the nursing home she is in. She recently suffered from a stroke and went into a coma, but she woke up and is coherent. She still needs recovery and can only move her arms and head but the doctors/nurses say she'll make a full recovery with time. The insurance company on the other hand has said she has made no recovery on the basis that she still has a feeding tube and tracheostomy in her. Were running out of options and have a social worker working out case but they denied our first appeal I was wondering what else we could do so we could afford to keep her at the nursing home until she's recovered.
What care and therapies would be available to her at home? Who would be her main caregiver?
You say the doctors/nurses say that in time your mother will make a full recovery. How long has she been undergoing rehab, please?
If she needs long term care and can't afford to pay for it from her own funds, and does not have long term care insurance, one option is to apply for medicaid. She might be able to stay in the facility "medicaid pending". Ask the social worker if that is an option.
Where do they argue she ought to be discharged to from the NH?
