Is she in PA? If so, what part? Unfortunately I know about every facility there is. I'm guessing she's on Medicare? There have been a lot of CMS changes since Obama has been in office (not a political debate...just the facts). The benefits under the Medicare umbrella have been decreased, whether it's Medicare A (for hospital, SNF, etc stays) or Medicare B (for Dr's visits). I'm willing to bet she was in the hospital under 60 days, right? The first 60 days are covered, but then there's a $304 co-pay per day for days 61-90 and it goes up from there. That's in addition to the deductible of $1216 for each hospital stay. They always transfer them to a SNF and it's paid for the first 20 days, then $152 per day from days 21-100.
The problem is that under Medicare guidelines, a person is only covered for 150 days at a hospital...total. There is no reset, it's cumulative. I won't get into the nitty gritty specifics, you can thank me now for that![]()
It's a messed up system and less and less Dr's are accepting Medicare because they can't be reimbursed for so many things, and if they are...the reimbursement is so low. If she's in a room at the nursing home, then technically she's "checked in". It's not the same as a hospital check in, but when she enters the facility then she's their responsibility. Period. Have you talked with the DON or the Administrator to find out what happened? That would be my first step. Investigate what went wrong, what they are going to do to correct it, the plan of care, etc.
Sorry, went into work mode there for a minute. Carry on....
Congratz. Despite watching videos, you'll be surprised at how compact it is. And how good it feels.

Oh rats! I was just having fun, but they hung up on me!!
I got one of those we are calling about your computer, it's sending a warning message to us blah blah blah, although this time they didn't say they were from Microsoft
Heavy accent:
M'am we are calling because your computer is at risk (same BS I've heard before)
Me, using the sweetest most friendly, clueless voice I could muster:
Oh no! That sounds serious! What's wrong with my computer? I don't understand! Am I going to lose all of my recipes? I have this great recipe for chicken mushroom casserole, but I got it from Liz and I don't think she will give it to me again, cuz' she is really ticked off that my half-sister is dating her husband, as if that's my fault.
Long pause
Ma'm are you on the internet.
Yes, I am.
What do you see?
Ummm...a kitty wearing a red hat. I think it might be a leopard, but I'm not sure. It has spots.
M'am, you need to open Explorer and tell me what you see.
What's Explorer?
The browser for the internet.
I'm not browsing, I'm reading. This is making me really nervous, what's is wrong with my computer? My nephew was using it yesterday, did he do something illegal? You said it was sending a warning message, are you from the the government?
M'am, what do you see on the screen?
I told you. A spotted kitty with a red hat.
Click.

Why did it stop playing with me?
Went to Pawn Stars on Las Vegas Blvd today. Anyone watch that show?? Anywho, I thought there might be some used ProVarii but didn't see any. In fact, I didn't even see any vapers. That surprised me considering the clientele. Only tourists.
I've been there too. It's smaller than I thought.
