My Mom has been in assisted living since August of 2023. My sister got her approved for payments from her LTC co, and Mom has received eight monthly payouts so far.
For the initial approval, a nurse from the LTC came to the AL apartment and talked to Mom and my sister. Mom was on 'level 1' level of care with the AL place at that time.
Out of the blue, a nurse called my sister and said the LTC co was sending her out to the assisted living facility to do a 'reassessment' of Mom. My sister asked why it was being done, and the nurse was vague. Sounds like they want to assess Mom as not needing the benefit any more.
Mom is about the same as she was when she got approved, except her memory is worse, and she is anemic now due to bleeding from inoperable tumors in her bladder, and therefore sleeps more.
Why are they 'reassessing' Mom? Routine practice? Nothing to get upset about?
Any comments welcome !
