So read some questions and answers from way back in 2010 and 2017 where people spoke about similar situations. My mother had a serious stroke in September and got awful care at the hospital. She's had infection after infection and other issues that they didn't treat properly and because we chose for faith reasons and her medical history reasons to not get her a covid vaccine hospital started telling me that no nursing facility would take her. She has been in the hospital for 4 months and now they're telling me I have like a week to get her out of the hospital and if no nursing home or skilled nursing facility will take her, I will have to take her home. She has a feeding tube, is paralyzed on one side and our home is not conducive or large enough to have nurses being there 24/7. Small kitchen and living room that we'd need to put my mother in. Small bedrooms are on second floor, with very narrow staircase. Rooms either don't have furniture now or it's old and broken down, and my mother started to hoard mail and some other things. I'm in the process of trying to clean stuff out, but I have to do that in the middle of doing 10 other things every day plus work, so it is a slow go. We'd need to move furniture, get rid of furniture and purchase hospital bed and other equipment. Plus, my brother is on disability for a heart and back condition and recently had knee surgery and I still have to work and don't actually live in my mother's house. Anybody know of resources in Massachusetts or New England area that I can check out. Places that might be willing to take her at least temporarily until we can get the house settled. Lawyers that will fight for our rights to have a place for my mother. I'm willing to take her out of state if possible so we can get her some more medical care and rehab before bringing her home. That is what she needs. She needs to get off feeding tube. New Hampshire even or any place at this point.
The treatment of my elderly mother and how the administration and some hospital staff has treated me is making me sick. I don't eat well because I get so upset after talking to them and I now often sleep only 2 to 3 hours a night because of how upset I still am at bedtime, and it sometimes only comes from sheer exhaustion.
Please note: I am not sure what their policy would be about vaccinations.
Also they have some testing right on the premises so the resident does not
have to make unnecessary medical trips to the hospital.
The hospital will find a place she can go unvaccinated if you refuse to take her home. But it might be one of those last-resort type places that must take on cases other places reject. Oh, and the one around here offers no visitation by anyone unless someone's in the last hours of their life.
Your case reminds me of parents who want full school services for their child without getting them vaxed for measles. The law here is that you then have to figure out schooling on your own at home by yourself or get the kid placed out of state by yourself versus having all the private and public school resources that other parents get.
Her choice and yours mean that you both have no choices except the worst ones.
I am asking if the OP has worked with Discharge Planning on looking at sites with available beds. The OP then needs to do the legwork to find out if they will take an unvaccinated person
If private pay or private insurance I am sure you can find placement for your LO. If you plan on using Medicare / Medicaid may ask why do you think it is reasonable for taxpayers to pay for the higher costs of care if your LO gets covid, and in the off chance leads to others getting covid?
How exactly is this view woke or uninformed? You have your beliefs and respect that, but you have failed to express why your beliefs ahould be paid by others.
Look at bob dole with final stage cancer at 98 or 99 years old going for chemotherapy. What about before covid people getting sick and requiring treatment for flu complications? Did you complain about that too?
A person after a certain age has to go on Medicare they cannot get regular health insurance. Thats the way it works. And what about people who are vaccinated who get covid and require hospitalization? Why is it ok to treat them? And yes there are vaccinated people who are hospitalized with covid regardless of the nonsense and one sided reporting on the news.
This woman's mother is very sick with a feeding tube and paralyzed on one side and those who lack compassion for her situation should be ashamed of themselves. What is wrong with you people?
At least I am trying to call some places just to confirm or dispute what the hospital has told her. Unfortunately it's the weekend so I can't get complete info until monday. Strange how the nurses in these facilities that answer the phone can't answer the vaxx or unvaxx requirement for new admits.
