Lillian Coppola MD | Kaiser Permanente

Good Morning, Over the last month my mother has been admitted to St. Joes twice and is currently admitted to Swedish hospital due to St Joes sending her to Powerback rehab who was not staffed, equipped or knowledgeable enough to care for her. It took over a week to find a facility that would accept an unvaccinated patient & when she arrived not only did they not provide an assessment/plan but she never spoke to a caregiver or physical therapist. She was told that a physical therapist would be in to see her and no one showed up nor was an update provided. My mother is currently taking Lasix which causes her to use the restroom every few minutes. Powerback didn't have enough staff to assist her as often as needed and the only resolution offered was a bedpan which caused more pain in her legs on top of the constant pain she deals with on a daily basis (due to her arthritis & Pyoderma gangrenosum). Moving forward we would like her care to reside within her home.Grab bars have been installed within the home Good Morning, Over the last month my mother has been admitted to St. Joes twice and is currently admitted to Swedish hospital due to St Joes sending her to Powerback rehab who was not staffed, equipped or knowledgeable enough to care for her.

Moving forward we would like her care to reside within her home.Grab bars have been installed within the home for her safety, a commode has been ordered & we are willing to rearrange the home as needed. We would like homecare for the next 6-12 months for wound care, physical & occupational therapy as well as the continuous care from the RN. To do this we would need a referral from you as soon as possible. Due to her current situation, we are working on getting her Medicaid application expedited. Once she is approved our goal is to have medicaid assist in my mothers home based care. Please let me know if you need anything else from me and if this request is something you can assist with right away. Thank you,
