acute care rehabs are very picky on who they take for this very reason - no insurance company wants to pay acute care and then paid for skilled they hold acute care responsible for this if they took the patient got paid the large amount of monies and then didn’t get the person to the same functioning level. Therefore acute care rehab will do everything in their power to send you home with home health and you have every right to fight like heck if you think skilled nursing rehab will give your loved one a better chance at rehabilitation.
My best friends husband just had brain surgery and went to acute care and becasue he did not do as well as they thought they also were trying to send him home and pretend he didn’t have a right to skilled. I told her the real reason and she put up a fight and made sure he went to skilled for additional rehabilitation. The patient has every right to go down to skilled - things happen and sometimes people need more time - usually acute care takes on only who they know they can get home to the same functioning level and when they can’t they do not inform the patient or family that it was their mistake and attempt to save their butt! Do not let them fool you or anyone else you know. Share this information and also make it clear to them that you know why they don’t want him in skilled. Sorry this is the one thing that bothered me the most and how our health system works and how many are unaware of their rights because of the games played in this country. This hits a nerve for me as you can tell. But I assure you - Medicare and or other insurance companies are upset when someone has to go from acute care to skilled as they don’t want to pay the higher owns time fee and then also have to pay for skilled nursing on top of it. In my opinion acute care should be for those who need the best equipment and care - strokes and TBI and higher level injuries but it’s not and because it is a one time fee only acute care chooses and accepts those they can rehabilitate quick to open up the room for the next one time lump sum.
Im wishing you the best to get your loved one into skilled if you feel that is what is in their best interest. 🙏🏼
Please share with others so we can all make sure our loved ones get what they deserve. 🌈
My mom did rehab and she also had home health several times throughout her years. Home health is wonderful. They have occupational and physical therapy along with an aide to help with bathing and dressing. You will also have nurse visits. Home health is covered by insurance if the doctor orders it.
If you need a walker that can be ordered through home health. You will pay a fraction of the price.
What u can do is call a SNF in his area. Run this by them. If they are willing to do it, then you get his Dr to sign off. But, the cost will probably be on him. When he is released fro rehab, he is also released from Medicare. He may be able to do therapy in home.
