She left the hospital after 5 days and sent to a skilled nursing facility. It is day number 13 in this facility and physical therapy has only gotten her to stand up for 10 seconds and thats with 2 people holding her. I think her legs are atrophy because of so much time in bed. She also had bed sores on her heels. Physical therapy says they know how to work with Dementia patients but I hear them screaming at her and they give up when she does not follow directions. I have complained to the nurse, the head of physical therapy, the social worker. How long before I contact an attorney??
If they are yelling at her, though...get her somewhere else and fast! Because you only have 100 days of SNF at a time through medicare and every day counts.
Have you spoken to her orthopedic surgeon and/or regular physician?
