I can understand your description of a nightmare and a roller coaster with some highs and many more lows. It is good that you have a background in health care; I'm sure that this has helped you as you advocate for your wife.

What is the most pressing problem for you as you care for your wife now?

@hopeful33250 Getting her the care she has a right to and deserves. Especially getting her meds on time. But also things like food that is not edible or geared to her needs. And the fact that she can only get a shower once per week. When they tell me they’re understaffed I reply that it is an explanation but not an excuse. And it is their responsibility, not the patient’s. Aside from that, maintaining my own health and figuring out how I’m going to pay for skilled nursing care when she is transferred there as it is inevitable.
