Hi,
Anyone know the ins and outs of Medicare when it comes to nursing home or a rehab? What does insurance cover before they come after her soc sec, etc? I heard it was the 1st 90 days? What if she AMA's herself like she does from hospitals? Can she even do that?
She's not nuts, she's nasty, and has all her marbles- especially a mouth, a foul mouth. The problems with her are daily, endless and real eye rollers. Not so much illness, more like aging issues, but she is a trouble maker to the core. She's 91 and as sharp as a tack!
Dx is Paranoid Narcissist and she has perfected it. Been this way from day all her life. Along with obese and nocturnal.
This week she got some scam email about a short term loan and believe I have taken out a loan in her name. She printed it and called police to have me arrested for bank fraud. Nothing came of it- but- once again I had to face questions etc. Never mind her rath.
Now that she is receiving home nursing/pt/ot I'm just wondering how long it will be before they come to me and either suggest a rehab or no longer able to live alone and how it all happens from there. Truth be told, if they scooped her up and placed her in a nursing facility for a month, might just curb her mouth after a month! Any one know anything? I'm just trying to brace myself for what could come. Only child.
If they want to discharge her from Medicare covered care and say she ca no longer live alone, tell them that she will be unsafe at home and that NO she cannot live with you. She can apply for Medicaid. She can also become a ward of the state.
