Pamela - if your Mum is unable to stand unaided she must have been like that before they discharged her, so I can't understand why they have let her come home; it really does seem that they are assuming you will take up the 'slack' and that's just not good enough.
You are already sounding stressed and she's only been home one night; what state will YOU be in by the end of the week ? I think that they should have gone further into her going into a home from the intermediate care rather than going back to her place. It would seem that she really is in need of 24 hour care now. Carers 4 times a day is one thing, but what happens if she should fall between their visits, or if a visit is missed ?
Don't look on it as refusing to help your Mother - by taking a stand you are only trying to get the best possible help for her.
Thinking of you and wishing I could be of practical help.
