Update

I just heard from the Case worker this morning.  This is what I know:

Yesterday mom was fighting going to therapy.  We are afraid she is a bit depressed and frustrated.  The PT finally said, Linda you better do this or you can't be here and we will send you somewhere else.  Mom finally started cooperating.  She needs lots of encouragement right now. They said there is not any medical issues,(FINALLY!)

Today they said was better.  She is responding better to written instructions vs verbal instructions.  She is doing better with dressing herself.  She is following simple commands.  The speech therapist said it takes her about 10 min into therapy and then she starts participating and focusing better.

Tomorrow we have a family meeting with her care team (Doctor, Case worker, Speech, Physical, Occuational and recreational Therapists)  They are anticipating her being there 3-4 weeks at this time.  It can also change at anytime.  Then we are looking at either a nursing home or home  and then therapy at one of those locations.
