My 84 year old Mother signed a lease to stay in the Emeritus Clearwater Assisted Living facility. She paid an additional $5,000.00 to lower her long term rent from $1,500 / mo to $1,000.00. While under level 2 increased care, she fell 4 times in 2 days at their facility. She had a fractured ankle when she went in and after her last fall, shewas sent to Emergency where after X-Rays they found she had a broken leg.
Under advice from her Doctor, she was sent with a cast to rehab for recovery, we thought for perhaps 15 to 20 days. Unfortunately, due to her rapid progression of Dementia and her broken leg, she can not get around. Here it is going on 3 months after moving in to Emeritus and she has run out of Medicaid coverageand finances as we have continued to pay Emeritus along with her other medical bills believing she would go back however, her own finances and lack of assistance from Federal dollars is proving otherwise.
