Margaret's Story
Margaret lives in assisted living with congestive heart failure, diabetes, and arthritis. With a rollator and help with bathing and medications, she maintains her independence.
After a stroke, she is hospitalized and told she cannot go back to her assisted living residence. She now needs more care and must move to a long term care home.
This brings fear and uncertainty. Margaret worries about losing her independence and leaving her home. Her family feels overwhelmed navigating the system and understanding their options.
With guidance, they learn why more care is needed and what choices are available. They realize they can still be involved in decisions and find a home that suits her needs.
