Last year the hospital that treated my mom wanted to send her to a nursing home for physical therapy. I refused to let her go. They tried hard to manipulate me in various ways to have her sent there. I wouldn’t budge. Yes, she needed PT as she was very weak at the time, But, I took her home instead and had PT arranged at her home. I couldn’t bare the thought of neglect or worse.
Good for you. I would have done the same.
I also read a particularly sad story (yes one of many) of a very healthy otherwise 84 year old woman who had been sent to a home for physical therapy that died after that home took an influx of Covid patients unprepared to deal with it.
My parents are celebrating their 73 wedding anniversary today. Thankfully sound of mind and living in their own home. My mother still cooks and bakes constantly. Even finding new recipes. She’s 92 and my father is 94 (WWII vet). I can’t imagine them even at this age being in a place like that.
