She is being seen by a nurse practitioner, neurologist, and pulmonary medicine. Her condition has improved somewhat and she is being transferred to the skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation. She stays in the facility for 30 days, but remains unable to care for herself at home. Heide is sent to a nursing home for custodial care where she lives for three months.
