I recently visited a convalescent home and was shocked to see how nice it is. I could not believe the services provided, the fun events taking place among the patients and the meals. Pillows fluffed, water fetched, slippers put on your feet - all by the nurses at the push of a button.
This seems like just the thing I need. I plan to pay out of pocket & stay at least 2 months. I went to my doctor for the appropriate arrangements and at 1st he did not understand what I was asking. Once he understood, he became angry and stated something along the line of "I will not associated with sending a 32 year old man to a convalescent home". So he is definitely not going to help me.
Looks like I have do it myself. Before I do, I'd like to know - is there any difference in rates with weeks vs. months? Even a discount as I'm 32 - my back hurts and I can't run like I used to but the nurses will not need to help me to the same degree as the older residents.
Can anyone provide me any tips?
