Grandma in Rehab
Posted on 12/3/20 at 11:37 pm
Posted on 12/3/20 at 11:37 pm
Long read/slightly political
Had her second back surgery in two months. 87 (but clucks around like a chicken on adderall, tough old lady) just checked into rehab. She pissed the bed at 6 central and as of 10pm her bed is still wet. She pissed her bed cause nobody came at 5 when she pushed her help button.
She got hold her of cell and called her husband while I happened to be in the room and told us what was going on. I went up there to the facility (no visitor policy cause of covid) and 7 of the staff (staff is what you would expect) lounging around with no mask. I have a cell phone charger for her but you guys know why i'm there. I was nice and asked the guy (who just so happen to be over her floor) to give it to her and he said thanks and basically pushed me out the door.
I said hold up, my grandmother is up there sitting in her own piss (they all start stuttering n shite) I tell him nicely that shes really important to me, and I want the best care for her. He starts telling me that he cant help her use the bathroom cause of legality stuff (??? like uhhhh wtf, this is a rehab) says she's lying about a wet bed,ect.. I go to say something back and this guy twitched and again stuttered some shite I could barely understand and went to turn away. I told him I would be back in the morning and to do whats right. No response from any of "them"
Now shes in their hands. Other than her cell phone they control everything and if they take that away she has no connection with the outside world. If I go up there they can say (she's busy with bla bla) but because of Covid, I cant go see for myself.
The families plan is to call the insurance company/her primary doctor and get her transferred tomorrow,but I'm scared tonight boys
Scary times my friends. Cherish your old relatives my friends and pray you don't live a successful life like she did with supposed top notch insurance and end up in this situation

Sorry to hear that
Hopes he gets through the night OK and you can take care of her tomorrow

My experience with elderly rehab centers, you really have to do your homework. A good sized city will have a handful of good options, the rest are dogshit.

At first I thought you meant she was an addict. Frick those people. Unless she reported to you or grandpa that she was dry and comfy I’d call the police. Nobody leaves meemaw in a wet bed. Also try joint commission. People using covid as an excuse to charge full price for shite care.

God bless your sweet grandmother. I just said a prayer for her speedy recovery. Grandmothers and mothers are the best.
Did you leave an iPad or an iPhone with FaceTime capabilities with her? That way she can get in contact with you and your family or record these jackasses if need be.

says she's lying about a wet bed

Which facility? I feel like it’s a disservice not to mention it.

This makes me sad and angry.
Sad for your grandma and other helpless, old people currently secluded in hospitals at this time.
And angry at the political dumbfrickery that allows this to happen to these precious people who provided for and raised us. And we allow this shite to happen to them.

Went through simular sutuation with 85 yr old Dad..caregivers asked what he used to do..(he was asking so many questions about his care)..retired engineer...heard a comment from caregiver later about engineers asking so many f ing questiins questions. Threw his self out of bed twice and got the hell out of there....Sent to ER and transferred to different facility...Tough stage of life for families.

The sad thing is is that no other place will be that much better
No one takes care of your family member like you expect them to be taken care of
Stay on top of them & don’t let up, it’s a tough situation but at least she is only there for rehab
Best of luck to her & you & your family

Call the cops and accuse of elderly neglect. There is some type of crime for neglecting the elderly. A lawyer could help you. This would also be an easy lawsuit. Notify management of facility through a lawyer. If it costs for the lawyer's letter who cares. Granny is worth it.

Just download google duo and put it on her phone. Works just the same as facetime.

If that was my grandma the only way they’d keep me out of her room is with a gun pointed at me. frick any covid restrictions

File a complaint with your state's department of health.
Posted on 12/4/20 at 6:34 am to tbonebrah
At 8 AM call the facility and don’t stop until you talk to the administrator. He or she will not be happy to receive your call and especially won’t be happy when you mention that you are considering reporting them to the state department of health and hospitals (or whoever their licensing board is in your state) or the office of elderly affairs/elderly protection.

To address it right now, call and ask to speak to the RN who is in charge. If that person doesn't seem to give a damn it's time to find somewhere else for grandma.

State law mandates that the facility allow you to put in a granny cam if you so choose. You have to disclose it to the facility and sign a form but they can’t refuse it.

She’s in treatment for substance issues or back surgery? Leading off with her taking adderall is confusing as shite

I hate it for you and all others cut off from their loved ones.And what about the mental heath of our relatives that are locked up in assisted living,stc..
