Placement in a nursing home is good and if she's really declining, she could also have hospice in the nursing home as a second set of eyes to make sure she's taken care of, and medicare will cover it.

Although I work at a hospice, I will be honest and say that you still have to watch some hospice staff and make sure they're coming as they are suppose to and taking care of what they say that they will. Most are great, but there are those few that just do not give the care that they should. It makes you so mad when people do not do the job that they are suppose to do for these people who need it most.

You just have to take the dive and make sure that you are not afraid to call and see and complain to whoever you have to to make sure that any wrongs are corrected.
