Mom bedridden with dementia was not being well cared for in SNF. Tried filing complaints with state & numerous meetings etc. Nothing helped so moved her yesterday to a private Sr care home owned & operated by a geriatric /wound care LVN with 3 beds max. She will continue on hospice care. Mom seems very happy and loves the caregiver. I guess im just nervous theres no oversight by any entity eventhough our experience with the DHHS in TX hasnt been any help. She has evacuation plans & other safety measures in place and administers all her meds, cooks her meals etc . Praying this will be a great place for her where she can flourish

As far as I know she has no supervision from anyone with a higher license. The hospice nurse i suppose would be that person but the LVN / LPN doesn't work for the hospice company. Im just unclear what these private homes can and cannot do in their scope of practice

This LVN, from what I just read, has to answer to an RN. Where I live, its LPN, Licenced practical Nurse. They have 1 year of training and can get certification for other things like woundcare.

Sounds like you have found a nice place for Mom to spend her final days.
