I'm so upset at my Mom's home health care, I could spit nails
they took away her Physical therapist, says it was Medicare rules. So I guess that's not thier fault. But they have given her an occupational thepatist and new RN. These two ladies think that Moms prioity should be to get in the bath tubl. Mom hasn't got in the bath tub for a long time. She prides herself in a good stan up 'sink bath' for a long time. So this woman who can't even raise her leg to walk, it just painfully shuffles along slkowly, asked for help in learning how to turn over in bed. So she gets a lady in that think s that Mom doesn't need to turn over in bed. She needs a shower!!!! So I talked to the agency tody. I asked if they had care conferences, they do but they tlak about all the clients. If need be they will have one just for Mom and I will be invied So thi sperson is going to pass along that Mom needs to learn how to turn over in bed, not learn how to raise a leg toi get in a shower chair. It absolutley ruins her for about 2 days to try to do that. She only has two days left with this occupational therapist and it's not two day to soon. Between Mom Mom's ailments and my not feeling well, I am really down.
