Discharge from Home Health
Home Health (very well known large company) is discharging my mother tomorrow. I just found out earlier. Nurse said she wasn't compliant with care and had missed some visits. Right now she has a pressure sore that is getting worse. I talked to the nurse and told her and she said my mother would not let them treat it. She would not reposition (she won't). This nurse, did something my mother did not like and she kept trying to do it. My mother told her to leave. Another nurse came and she did see the wound. The next time she was running late and did not look at it.
I've been disappointed in this company. They had down the wrong doctor for nearly two months. It took me several times to get it fixed. She needed tests ran and they didn't have the supplies or lab setup until nearly 3 weeks later. They don't carry supplies to treat the wound. What they do use is not correct. They will either use mine or just put on what they have which isn't right.
My mother has been hard for them to get along with after this last hospital stay. She has been through a lot. I've also been on the receiving end of my mother's various moods.
That being said, she has a pallative nurse and a telemed doc. I thought about appealing the discharge because if we do want home health again it might be hard if they read their notes. Also kinda concerned this nurse doing the discharge (she is the main one) might ben doing it one purpose because of what happened. I was told she had another two weeks before reevaluation.
Would appreicate any input. She needs help with this pressure sore. Telemed and pallative said they are getting up wound care from a clinic to come to house. So far no calls.
