I am in the US. Has anyone had hospice care for their LO with dementia? Mom has been in the hospital four times in six weeks. We are about to ask for hospice and want to know what to expect.
I’m a five months out and have been doing better and better, then I woke up a week ago with pain in the surgical area. I have rested and rested but it gets a little worse every day. Today it is so bad that I am limping.
Wondering how to know if this might be an infection.
Any thoughts from those who have experience infection?
My mom (advanced dementia) has been fighting off a UTI for months. She had been in and out of the hospital multiple times. She is looking sick again today. Without being morbid, if anyone has been through this, how do you know when to stop fighting it, or when do you know it is going to be what takes her out. I want to make good decisions about her care.
I am trying to log into Social Security to get my mom’s tax documents for last year. I have tried both Login.gov and IDMe, and since she hasn’t logged in for a while, they are requiring that we verify her identity.
Part of that verification requires receiving a text or phone call at the phone number in her public records.
We don’t have her old phone number (we got rid of it years ago), so we can’t get past the verification.
I’m putting this out there to hopefully save someone else the frustration we are facing.
