Rehab in SNF, Refusing to Go
Got the call today that there is a bed ready in a Rehab inside a SNF. There is an acute rehab nearby. The doctor said that my mother would not qualify but I still wanted them to assess her. Well my mother heard that they would do PT 3 hours a day and she said didn't want to go there. She went back and forth on the other rehab. Would not sign their paper about finding one. Hospital called me and asked about finding one. I had talked to my mother and she had said she would go there. So they sent out the paperwork for her to go.
Well like I said tomorrow she can go if doctors discharge her. She is now having a fit about not wanting to go. Said she is coming home and said she would refuse to go. She is all there no memory problems.
She just called from the hospital yelling at me that they were not helping her. She was wet. They are doing a voiding trial. I kept ask her was the pad wet and she said she couldn't tell but that suction thing was and I asked her what she wants me to do. I told her if she goes to rehab she will be wet because they can't change that often. She said she is not going to rehab. For me to call 911 to get her. I told her I wasn't and she said she would remember it. She would call them.
I don't know what to do with her anymore. I've took so much. She is constantly on me. I honestly can't stand it. She knows she will have to go to a Rehab place. I can't physically take care of her. I can't reason with her. No one seems to be able to do it. I hate for her to have to go to Rehab/SNF but what else can I do.
