I spoke with Mandy Munchmayer yesterday and discussed mom's progress and anticipated discharge date. According to her, mom is progressing in therapy, continuing to build strength and learning ways to adapt her activities of daily living to her new circumstances. Insurance approved her continued stay at Heartland for another week and she is scheduled to be discharged on Thursday, July 16.
According to Mandy, continuing care at home will consist of a nurse, PT/OT, and home health care support coming three times a week in one hour increments for six weeks, or as long as they feel it is necessary.
I spoke with mom this afternoon and shared this information, no one at Heartland had told her when she was leaving, but her roommate Sylvia is scheduled to leave on Friday the 17th. At least she won't have to adjust to a new person before she leaves. Mom also shared that whenever staff is showing the facilities to potential residents they stop by room 103 because it is always so neat. I'm not surprised! She also shared that PT is running out of things for her to do.
Byron is busy making the necessary adjustments to the house and I'm sure taking care of the yard. I will be coming up Monday or Tuesday and plan on making this an extended stay and look forward to transporting mom hither and yon for her various errands and hopefully get her to church.
