Yes, I spoke to more of her care staff today. They are going to call me to discuss translation services. Thanks for all feedback and suggestions

She also hasn’t had speech therapy since 3/23 does that sound right

Hi all, today we were told she’s “refusing therapy” I asked how that was possible if she’s not being asked in her language. I asked if they could be there when I’m there and they said they will try. I know this is going to be used against her if she wants to leave the hospital. This is so frustrating

Thanks for replying. We’ve told the hospital multiple times that my mom requires a translator and they continue to tell us “she responds to us” responding and understanding aren’t the same. I finally demanded a translator today but I’m not sure anything will be done. My mom can’t speak because of the aphasia. She’s helpless and I can only be there so much to help.

Hi everyone, first time poster here. My mom suffered a left side hemorrhagic stroke on 3/4. She had a bleed and her drain was just removed this past weekend. Today She was moved from Neuro critical care to the standard Neuro care unit. She has no right side movement and is having a hard time speaking. She’s eating on her own which we understand is a plus. We weren’t notified of her move until we went to visit her. My question is, she had a few large aneurysms that weren’t addressed in critical care because the goal was to get her to stop bleeding. Now that she was moved, I’m concerned her aneurysms haven’t been addressed. I know she has a long road to recovery but I was hoping the doctors would at least provide us some more guidance. Another challenge she has is that English is her second language. She seems to be more responsive when me and my Brother go there and ask her things in her first language. The hospital rehab isn’t ideal and I’m really not sure where to start. Am I able to get her transferred into a different rehab ? Does she have the option to continue care without getting those aneurysms addressed? I’m venting/ reaching out because I’m just overwhelmed with what we need to do next. Critical care was on top of it always calling us and keeping us informed, now that she was moved it seems like she’s left to fend for herself. At todays visit she was in a cold room with a sheet and laying so uncomfortably. We could barely find a Certified Nursing Assistant to answer any questions let alone a doctor. I’m so frustrated with this I’m honestly not sure where to start.
