@buggirl55 Care isn’t better in any nursing home. They don’t have the staffing to accommodate all the patients. The ones that cannot verbally advocate for themselves seem to be getting the least care. The squeaky wheel gets the grease sorta thing. My mom was in one for 6 months until she passed. I couldn’t keep her at home because she weighed too much for me to handle. She was 300 pounds. She weighed 175 pounds 6months later when she passed. She could push the nurse light and it might be an hour before they get to you. If your request was bathroom related that is devastating. At home you can get changed right away. Because of care delays they may get UTI Or fungal infections. When they do come they are very quick about business beauties people are waiting. Your food will always be cold. They bring trays for everyone at the same time. It takes an hour or more to pass them out. Same with medicine. It won’t be on time and something at all. My mom was given an IV bag with anthers name on it. She was wearing 2 fentanyl patches at the same time. The failed to remove the first one. My step father and I ended up staying 24/7 at the nursing home. He stayed in the day while I worked. I stayed all night. She was well taken care of after that. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and I was very very squeaky. I took notes and called meetings with the head nurse regularly. One time I stood at the nurses desk looking at her and refused to leave until she brought my mom her medication. Mom had a 102 fever. I told her I had no other place to be than making sure mom got taken care of. And yes she went and did it right away. Another time they didn’t bring mom a food tray. They said she barely eats 2 bites anymore. I insisted get meals like everyone else weather she ate 2 bites or a whole plate. So no she won’t get better care at a nursing home. If you can afford private pay $10k a month you can put her in a group home where she might get great care. Usually only 4 to 6 people in the group home environment.
