Glad you were able to connect with the SW. Not sure where you are or what the rules are but I would imagine there's a Nurse Care Manager or someone similar to assist with planning and connecting you to resources.
Here in the US discharge planning starts on day of admission and identifying issues from the get go.
Yes some of the cognitive test are difficult one I absolutely would not be able to do is to count backwards by 7's.

Yes, they are talking about connecting us to whatever services she would need. They've already given her a bunch of pamphlets on home food delivery companies, for eg.
However, I still think she needs some kind of assisted living. Am investigating retirement homes where it's like your own apartment but they provide meals, assistance with bathing, housekeeping and laundry, etc. It's super expensive but I think if we sell the house, she can swing it for a few years maybe, and then at her age, I imagine we'd be looking at long term care for sure by then.
