Mother has been on the VMRC (Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community) waiting list for many, many years. She had lived in Crestwood, their assisted living section for a month but her back pain got worse and she ended up in the hospital.......turned out her back was broken - no wonder she wasn't making progress in therapy! When it came time to release her from the hospital, we assumed she'd move to the Skilled Nursing unit at VMRC, but, they wouldn't accept her! They said she hadn't shown progress or effort in her physical therapy so she didn't qualify for their skilled section. They didn't have a bed available in their regular nursing home so.........
This might turn out to be one of those lemons that we'll turn into lemonade. We've always been so keen on VMRC (and it is a wonderful place) that we've never looked at other possibilities. We're finding out that other places aren't nearly as expensive. After 6 weeks and a day in the hospital, Mother was moved to Harrisonburg Health and Rehab Center.
