Longest visit you ever made?

OMG Karen, that was the visit from hell!

uc... have never found anyone dead...yet. I have so may 90+ year olds now, I am sure one day it will happen.

Admitted a 99 year old today! Damn good shape too! I said let me watch you walk with your walker, she stood up and only came up to my upper arm. Too cute! She practically marched with her walker. Quite the contrast from the other new pt I resumed today. Another one who lives alone and cannot take care of herself. I called her at 8:45, she said I fell and I can't get up. She laid on the floor with the phone alll night!! I called her emergency contact who went over asap. She was very upset while her neice was cleaning up the room. She liked her clutter!! I laid it on the line. I said you have so much clutter here, you barely have rrom to walk if you could, and I do not think you are safe here alone. You need to seriously consider hiring a live in, or a helper who can stay longer hours and more often than our aide, or you will end up in a nursing home. She said "Someone in my home would get on my nerves." I said what would be worse, staying here or a nursing home? No answer. Her neice stopped me on my way out and said thank you, we've been teliing her that for years! I hate to seem like a meanie, but I have 3 pt's like this now. The powers that be just decieed that the one who just got re-admitted will not be accepted back onto service unless she has 24/7 caregiver, paid or otherwise. Thank God, b/c last time I saw her I believe she aspirated and she refused to go tot he hospital!!

Welcome kiscellus, don't think I've seen you post here before!

Renee, didn't realize you did HH! Welcome to you too.

Renee, that is just a big smiley face. I use that one most often, you will see it in most of my posts.
