less than two weeks later, I was told that they plan to discharge him on 1/31/08 and that he will need to go to a skilled nursing facility. The only help they offered in finding a facility is to go to www.medicare.gov and search nursing home comparisons. The issue I have is that none of the nursing homes actually mention rehab. My dad has a great attitude and is working hard at his therapy sessions.

I do hospice I'm not in a building unfortunately. I go to nursing homes, assisted livings and to patients homes.
Nursing homes are necessary and fulful a definite need, but psychiatric treatment is not one of those needs. In the best nursing homes there is a shortage of staff. They treat "depression" with a chemical straightjacket. Furthermore, the diet in most homes is lacking and good nutrition is part and parcel of treatment for depression. Depression is best treated by tender loving care, holding, touching, caressing and by paying attention to a person.

I know ed is right about this....you carry this, you don't get rid of it. It lies dormant in your system. Nursing homes are rampant with it. There was a time that Dr.'s weren't supposed to admit residents to nursing homes if they were carriers. Hospitals hardly ever test any more for it because it is so rampant. There is even crossover from the animal population. I know because my daughter, a Registered Vet Tech, got it from the animal surgical center where she works.
My step son has been urinating in his room both at night and during the day. The bathroom is right next door. He tries to hide it (ie urinating down a heat vent, behind his bed, etc.). When his father and I cover up a spot he finds a new spot to hide it. When asked about it he always starts out with " I didn't do anything." Then he does tell the truth. When asked why he did it he says he can't hold it.
Obviously he has seperated parents.
Where is everyone from?? And there due dates. I'm from Coventry in the UK.
He is probably on medicare, so speak to the department of social services, we use the Services to People with Disabilities here in my state. We have many possibilities here also for the older DS, A day care unit, nursing homes and residential facilities. Are there no group homes in your area? I am sorry about your sister, my daughter is also doing chemo right now for ovarian cancer, but her children are all adults now. You might also call the ARC in your area and ask for advice.
There are a number of possible causes of your mother's problems, including depression, dementia (depression can cause something called 'pseudodementia' in the elderly, but your mother isn't really that old), addiction... strokes, other brain diseases...
Next week specialist in NYC, an ENT oral surgeon and a pathology dentist and then I am going to go to an acupuncturist. I am very happy the scary teats are coming up negative but this is very scary and everyday I pray it will not get worse. How is your quest going? All my thyroid tests are in normal levels and I am on 50mcg of synthroid. Mayo clinic is last if nothing else comes up.
