The home health place or the hospital?


I don't know why home health didn't go on for her. Did they try physical therapy? She sounds very weak which isn't going to help her appetite or energy level. As long as she can't get out of the house without extreme effort she's entitled to the home health services. So maybe call them and talk to their social worker or intake person or something and find out what they are actually able and willing to provide. Not all home health places provide the same amount of care and you may need to go with aher company.


At the same time you'd need a doctor to prescribe the home health. It's like a big circle isn't it? I wish there were something better to suggest.
