Bill was admitted to a skilled nursing home for therapy yesterday. One place wouldn't take him. Our choice said yes and then declined him (worried about his behavioral problems even after being assured by Mayo that they were under control with his medicines and he had been no problem (other then he didn't want to eat much or bathe). Anyway, we then had a very short time to find another place as they couldn't keep him at the hospital longer as had already started discharge process for the one SNF. Yikes.
Anyway, did find another that is really nice (Bill not happy he has to share a bath - he didn't see the other places we had checked out and turned down - even 5 star places. A very long drive and of course I have no transportation while Robin is at school. And by the time she gets home she is exhausted and already had to face a drive and traffic.
We got there last night and after five minutes Bill was trying to shoo us out so he could get back to his game. Then his dinner came and he wouldn't eat while we were there (hopefully he ate afterwards but he was already claiming he wasn't hungry).
Since he will be involved in a lot of therapy visits are going to be limited. He does have a direct phone line - which means a 3 minute call!

I'm glad you found a suitable place. I know it's hard not to be at his side, but that might be good too - he'll be busy with therapy, and hopefully they will also get him out with others - at least for a meal or two, so he can see he's not alone in his "woes".
