I was called in to advocate for a Senior (who was Alert & Oriented x4) who's niece had her sign over her POA & Health Care Surrogate.
Being told she was to move over 55 miles away from everyone she has ever known, whom she loves and supports her the following day destined to live out her life in a Long Term Care Nursing Home, she was devastated.
Alee Solutions spent 5+ hrs collaborating with her rehab therapist, rehab SW, church friends, neighbors & community resources and we were able to stop the hold this niece had over her and get her voice heard once again. She will be returning home to live the best life possible for as long as possible.
Before resorting to a nursing home...call me I can help!
Hospital rules state that patients checking out must have a wheelchair.
One day a newly graduated nurse assistant came into the room to find an elderly man fully dressed. He was sitting on the bedside chair, with a piece of packed luggage at his side, all ready to go.
When he was shown the wheelchair, he was adamant that he was fully capable of walking himself to the parking lot.
But the assistant told him rules were rules, so he relented and let her wheel him out.
In the elevator, the assistant asked the elderly man if his wife was coming to meet him.
“I don’t think so,” he replied. “It takes her awhile to change her clothes, so she’s probably still upstairs in the bathroom taking off of her hospital gown and getting dressed.”
