Just heard from the social worker at the hospital. They have exhausted all options and they have no recourse to keep her there and the acute care won't accept her. She doesn't meet medicare guidelines and the hospital had to stop billing Medicare as of 19MAR so I am responsible for all charges from the hospital from that date on. They can't discharge her today because it's too late to set up home care. They have no options for her and have no suggestions other than get her home and deal with it from there.
They're oh so helpful aren't they?
I can't get her into the house, I can't get her to/from dialsis since I can't get her into/out of the house. How fast can I get that equipment together? No idea. What a freakin' mess.
Heads up everyone! GET LONGTERM CARE INSURANCE AND FOR GOD'S SAKE NEVER LET IT LAPSE! You'll be put on the street to die if you don't have it.
