As I read this article, I couldn’t help but think about my mom. I had a social worker assigned when my mom was in the hospital and they did provide some SNF options for her upon discharge. The problem I had was I assumed that the options provided would be decent places. What I wish the social worker would have said is here are some facilities, but YOU need to go to these and check them out to see if they fit the needs of your mother. Stupid me I assumed any of the facilities that the social worker provided would be good places. That ended up NOT being the case. I put my mother in one of the choices after a brief meeting with the adminstrator of the facility, only to find out within a couple of weeks this place was a nightmare. I think about seeing my mom crying as I left and then finding out why upon my next several visits. It took me some time to find another place. I learned the hard way, but it was even harder for my mom. So make sure the family knows some key things to look for to pick a good facility that provides good care for families. I know it’s not the social workers place to say what’s good to bad, but can’t you provide some things to look for in these facilities? From someone who lives everyday with the look in my moms eyes as I left her in the place from hell.
