He went from the hospital to a rehab facility in Tenn and has not been able physically to benefit from the rehab. We have filed for "Tenncare" Medicaid, he has been approved physically but the financial side hasn't been approved. We have no idea what to do.
With rehab there comes a point when the person plateau and rehab can no longer help. Medicare will no longer pay. Or, he has hit his 100 days and Medicare will stop payment? Is the NH going to be a permanent thing? Please realize that therapy can only do so much. You may feel Dad needs more but more is not going to solve the problem.
Your profile says he lives in a nursing home, did they fill his bed or what? Or was that based on rehab?
When my dad was being released from a SNF that said he was good to go because he could get from a wheelchair to a bed and back again I found a different rehab facility that I knew would get him to the best point he could be. He was walking the day he went to the hospital, I was not willingly bringing him home without all efforts to get him back on his feet.
If you think that he can improve to pre hospital stay fight for the help.
Best of luck, such a difficult time.
