Okasan's next move in the works - to a long term care hospital near us.
Social services sent the info about our options. Option.
There were 3 options for the suitable facility in our requested area. But two of them can't take an elderly person with fluctuating blood pressure. So, we got the small brochure for the third offering.
I thought MOST old people have fluctuating blood pressure? Is that really a reason to refuse a potential customer?
Anyway, Dear Son looked at the brochure, which has a stock image photo and general info arranged in colorful boxes. Could be any care hospital anywhere in Japan. We are not allowed to visit because of COVID. And anyway - as Okaasan's life is now a bed and tubes...does it really matter what lovely facilities are elsewhere in the building?
Sorry. My bitterness is showing.
It of course matters very much that the people coming to her bedside are kind and caring, professional and humane. It matters that they have a proactive policy in allowing family visits during a pandemic.
We can only hope. Dear Son is talking to the social worker and the move is in motion.
