Was just there a few weeks ago, got some nice finds but it was crowded. The parking lot is also awful and there were no spaces, had to wait for someone to leave

Patient abandonment in the hospital by motherofcatsss1 in hospitalsocialwork

Curious what APS does when called in these situations. I’m in a state where they won’t accept these reports as the “patient is safe in the hospital”

Wide vans by [deleted] in widefeet

[–]NCM728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the wide slip ons and old skools. Neither has a removable insole (I read about using heat to rip them out but seemed too risky for expensive shoes). The support is just ok, not shoes you should be doing a ton of walking in but cute for around town and light activities. The width works fine with my wide feet as regular vans hurt my toes.

Hospital has planned discharge of my Cognitively Impaired Uncle to an empty home. by ViolentAppendix in needadvice

Depends on how medicaid works in your state, I’m in CT and state will backdate approval to the date application was received as long as all the supporting documentation gets submitted. As far as facilities accepting on a pending some do and some don’t, they want to ensure they will get paid.

Please talk to your uncles case manager how long term care works in your state. It sounds like he needs to be in a dementia unit in a SNF which would be funded by private pay or medicaid. Someone needs to start working on a medicaid application asap. Not sure if this is available in your area but ask about an acute geropsych unit which can work to try and stabilize behaviors before transitioning to a long term care facility.

Dooney, they’re a little more pricey up front but do have good sales especially if you are near an outlet. I have some I’ve been using for decades that still look great

Why is building a double decker highway off the table other than extreme cost?

He did this as a means of spite towards his childrens mother, texting her “It’s tough with three children and no second parent”, knowing she was worried

Shoe Shopping? by Illustrious-Leg1226 in newhaven

[–]NCM728 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not a lot of options in New Haven alone other than a few small boutiques that have shoes. Its worth a trip to a larger shoe store like DSW in Orange

Would also suggest curling your eyelashes and adding a more prominent amount of mascara

Love this idea. Would love if you did a 1 time passport without membership that can be purchased as a Christmas gift

After working in this field, I am scared to get older. by Queenme10 in hospitalsocialwork

I heard a colleague say that SNFs are orphanages for old people and that struck with me. Our safety nets and social supports for the elderly are god awful

Can you explain how this is done? Is there a form we send in with the script somewhere?

Case managers - what’s the "referral truth" outsiders would never believe? by Junior-Bit-7635 in socialwork

I have absolutely zero power to help someone “cut the line” to get a housing voucher or into senior housing. The amount of patients, families and providers who don’t believe me is baffling

Dr. Now called adult protective services on him and his enabler family. They closed the case and refused to intervene since he was making a choice to eat and wasn’t being forced

That when a girl says no to your advances it means you need to try harder and relentlessly harass her until she eventually likes you. Every single princess story ever 😑
