I have a friend who’s mother is in an advanced stage of Parkinson’s with hallucinations and prob some other psychosis. It’s been a long drawn out drama for them. After multiple private aides and nurses quit on them due to her hostile behavior they got to the point where they’re trying to get her into a facility of some sort where she can get proper care but no one will take her.
This past week she had a fall and was checked into the hospital where she tested positive with Covid. She had to be restrained after getting up and going into other patients rooms and kicking and punching the nursing staff. Now the hospital is discharging her and forcing them to either to send her back to live alone without proper care or to come live with her son and daughter in law who have a toddler and a newborn baby that she’s been hostile to.
The crazy part to me is that this woman and her family are of means. They can afford to pay for a top notch facility. But there’s no facility that is willing to take her. What about the people that aren’t of means? What the hell do they do?
