Update: good news. The dietician approved Kate Farms liquid nutrition after three days of asking. I have shakes in my room now as a bridge until the facility's supply arrives. My stomach is calm, my RA pain is nearly gone, and my energy is back. Liquid nutrition works — my body just can't process solid food right now.
Anne, the head of nursing, is now coordinating my appointments and transport. An RN is helping me file a grievance about the three-day delay. My mom doesn't have to keep bringing shakes from home.
To the people who donated today — thank you. You helped fill the gap when the system couldn't. The GoFundMe is still active because the $30 SSI doesn't cover phone, AI tools, or medical costs, but tonight things are better than they were this morning.

Insight - make yourself at home!
The St. Raphael nursing home in Bad Fredeburg - left to fend for itself since June 2006... too old to be a retirement home.

In Germany, investors are pampered more than the elderly.

"Deliberately reducing a person’s income and savings to qualify for Medicaid can sound daunting. But without planning, the high cost of long-term care can quickly drain savings anyway. Assisted living and nursing home care can cost thousands of dollars a month, often forcing families to exhaust their resources before qualifying for assistance."
