My father is in a skilled nursing facility after suffering a stroke during an operation. He can barely speak, barely swallow, and is paralyzed on his left side. He has a feeding tube. He has been in this facility for three weeks.
He has Medicare and a secondary policy through Atena
They told us Friday that he’s out as of Tuesday. We do not know if he has any money (accounts are impossible to access, we have PoA but banks are slow) and his home cannot accommodate him (stairs, no bathroom on ground level). We have no specialized equipment (beds, ways to move him).
I filed the appeal– denied.
I’m working on second appeal now, but that’s due today.
My sisters and I are glad to advocate on his behalf and we’re happy to take on his permanent care. We just can’t do this with two working-days notice. Plus, he’s benefitting from speech, swallowing, and physical therapy.
We’re desperate for advice or solutions. Any ideas? Thanks Reddit
