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:
It really depends on why rehab was suggested. My Mom had Dementia and was in the hospital the required time (3 or 4 days) to be able to get rehab. The only reason she was sent was to get back her strength. I was told almost 2 weeks into her therapy that she couldn't learn and couldn't remember her exercises from Day to day. Yeh, because she has Dementia. I was also told, even with a walker, she'd need assistance walking. They kept her 18 days. Long enough to get paid the 100% Medicare pays. She got back to the AL and with the help of her walker was walking all over unassisted. She would have been better having her therapy at the AL which you can ask for and Medicare will pay for that.
So the question is, how long was your sister hospitalized and for what? Then the question would be if she can get in home care for what she needs.
Rehab can be turned down. My GF a lifetime diabetic lost her leg from the knee down and refused rehab. She had done rehab a number of times. Turned out it was not a good decision but you do have the option. My Dad also turned it down.
To be honest where I live its 14 days quarantine in rehab after a hospital visit.
You may regret sending her, but you will regret it 10x more when sister does not heal how she ought because lack of proper therapy. Therapy is vital for healing.
She's in rehab for a reason. The quarantine is a downer, but unfortunately necessary. One week will pass by fast. You could send some books or other things to keep her mind occupied. And call as much as you need to.
Unless you're wealthy and can pay for her PT out of pocket, there's no real option to take her home. Don't sabotage sister's healing with the intention of making yourself feel less guilty.
Please please heed Alvas advice. If Sissy was discharged from a hospitalization to rehab, that’s a very specific set of codes (called ICD-10 numbers) in her health chart. Post hospitalization rehab in a facility is a covered Medicare benefit at 100% for her first 20/21 days. It will be imo pretty much impossible for you to provide the type of rehab service’s & care in your home. Even if you were able to find a PT &/or OT to come to your home..... you do not have the equipment, layout and staff to be there for 24/7 oversight needed & do the medication management needed.
The first few days in rehab are pretty much critical. If this is about a hip break or stroke, getting onto rehab that first 10 days are essential to get them on the path to being capable again.
On the insurance repercussions Alva mentioned, that’s very real. Sissy can’t decide on her own to get rehab 2 -3 months from now and expect her insurance to be all fine about covering it. There’s a window of opportunity to use your coverage otherwise it goes fallow.
Covid concerns & Quarantine is the reality for all of us right now.
What is she receiving rehab for? Did you not know that care facilities are on Covid-19 lockdown at this time? So sorry this became confusing. If you take her out there may be insurance repercussions should she try later to re enter, given some medicare regs, so check that out. Do know that these facilities are not jail. You can, with your POA and the Sister's permission, take her to your home at any time. However, if you do not have powers of attorney, and she was put in rehab after hospitalization by a person charged with her care, you will have to discuss the issue with that person. More information would help us. Wishing you good luck.
You need to provide more info about her circumstances. If she's in rehab or skilled nursing, it would seem more than likely there's a need for it. Are you able to bring in homecare attendants, therapists, and nurses to meet her needs? Also if you plan on also participating in her care, if she has a lot of needs, get as much professional and family assistance as you can.
