Meet Hilda Smith
Hilda Smith, who had osteoporosis, sustained a hip fracture because of a fall in her home.
Learn more about Hilda’s situation.
After 5 nights in an acute care hospital, she is admitted to an SNF where she spends 16 days for rehabilitation, nursing care, and assistance with activities of daily living. The resident is then discharged to her own home where a physical therapist from a home health agency comes in to train her to use a
walker and build strength.
After being at home for 25 days, Hilda develops deep venous thrombosis (blood clot in a vein) in her thigh (related to her fall) and is admitted to the hospital, from where she is transferred to the same SNF
after spending 2 nights in the hospital.
