Another hospital stay...

Well she went back into the hospital again in August for another UTI. The nurse at the assisted living first thought she had suffered a stroke, she was non responsive, her mouth was drawn, her eyes were fixed. They did CT Scan and decided after she started screaming and yelling that she had another uti. A week in the hospital, my brother said we need to call hospice.They have decided once again perhaps she has had a stroke in the first place after reviewing the CT Scans again. DUH!   I race to the hospital she is moaning, sitting in a pile of poop, and legs over the side of the bed. She isn't eating much he said or drinking. I get her cleaned up by the aide, her lunch is sitting there on a table. " Mom you want to eat?" YES! So I start feeding her, chicken that is a little tough, rice with butter and peas mixed in, chocolate cake, chicken soup, ensure ( blah but who wouldn't think so,) mmmmmmmm on the chicken soup, another bite? YES! she was responsive the whole time. Was watching tv which she hadn't really seen in some time. Off to rehab the next day.
 The rehab center said she wasn't responsive enough to do rehab. She had left the hospital with two drugs in her system that were making her non responsive. One was a sleeping pill, and a a strong pain pill. The rehab place said she couldn't do rehab so they had to decide what to do with her once again. If she couldn't stand up and get out of bed on her own, she couldn't go back to the assisted living. So what to do... She hasn't been eating and drinking, " the rehab place really isn't very nice," then what is she doing there?
I don't understand just sticking my mother somewhere and leaving her and expecting it to work out, when we all know from experience you have to keep on those people and keep in touch and go everyday to find out exactly what might be happening or not happening. "Did you check her meds before she left the hospital?" The hospital has a habit of sending her home on things she wasn't even taking because they decided that perhaps the drugs weren't working in the hospital, but they are on the chart. 
People just don't care about the elderly. They have lived their life, they can get better or not, it is just not important to anyone really. 
except me..
