Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Bamboo, yes, a Rehab facility can discharge a person if the facility feels that the person is not advancing on the Rehab.
My Mom [98] was in Rehab for a serious fall, the facility was trying to get Mom to learn to stand without falling. After the 3 weeks, Mom didn't improve at all from the first day she was at the facility. The fall caused Mom to accelerate to last stage dementia [before the fall her dementia was in the very early stage].
Since I was not able to care for my Mom at her or my home [I was a senior myself], the Rehab facility had their own long-term-care wing, so that is where Mom spent her final months.
Every case is different. Have the meeting with the Staff to find out what is the progress, and what do they recommend for the next phase.
The rehab ITSELF can discharge your person when they can no longer progress through rehab care, yes. BUT.................. If you are asking if they can make YOU come to get the person and assume care for the person, the answer is NO, they CANNOT. That is to say no one can force you to assume care for your parent. If this is the case, and I cannot tell without details, tell the Social Worker that you cannot physically or mentally accept responsibility for the care of your parent, and that you will not accept the parent, and discharging the parent without a good discharge placement will constitute an "unsafe discharge".
Medicare pays for rehab. 100% the first 20 days, 50% the 21st to 100 days. What a supplimental does not pick up the patient is responsible for. When a person is not getting better its called plateauing. At this point doing therapy is not going to help. So, the facility discharges the person.
If you feel that ur parent is now passed what you can do for him, then you need to talk to the discharge person about LTC. If parent not able to pay privately, then Medicaid needs to be applied for. Where I live rehabs and LTC are in the same building, its just a matter of transferring the patient over.
Not unless she private pays after Medicare runs its course...if mom not progressing....if Medicaid application pending..she can stay..see Social Worker & also talk w Medicaid office. If Mom has $$$ over medicaid limits, talk with Elder law Atty. You can’t be forced to be caregiver if you don’t want to...tell them nobody at home to help her & house has stairs & not accessible. Don’t be forced to take her back home. Hugs 🤗
