need prayers to find a different nursing home

On Monday, Hallmark nursing home re-evaluated Ed and decided that they would not accept him.

I did not handle the stress well, and ended up in the emergency room. Thankfully, Dawn, Brian, and Jim were there to get me over to the E/R.

So, we need to find Ed a good nursing home that has a room available NOW and will accept someone in a coma and on a trach collar and is a good place.

We were given the name of one other nursing home that would accept him, and it is not a place we would want to have Ed cared for, so that was pretty discouraging.

The hospital said that they could delay moving Ed until Thursday (originally they expected to move him yesterday), so we don't have much time.

We would very much appreciate suggestions.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers - we very much appreciate them!

Thanks.

Have you checked on Life Care Center of Littleton at 303-795-7300. This is supposed to be a good facility though I don't know any details.
