By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or

She should be so worn out from all of the physical and occupational therapy that she should not have time to get depressed.
I would visit more frequently, encourage her to participate in activities available at the facility and make sure that she is getting intense rehabilitation.
If that isn't happening, she may recover better with in home health.
No entity in America can force a competent adult to receive medical care or rehabilitation. No matter what they tell you.
I would first check with her PCP if she/he can order therapy in the home. If he is willing and someone will be with Mom 24/7. Homecare will evaluate and tell you what Mom will need.
Be aware that Medicare only pays for 20 days 100%. After that its 50%, hopefully her supplimental will pay the balance. If not, she will be out of pocket for the rest. About 150/160 a day. My Mom was in rehab to get strength back. I told them they better do what they needed to because she was not going to be in any longer than the 20 days. I was pinching every penny to keep her in an AL.
Not sure how they can determine the time she will be there. Medicare determines that by her progress. Don't let them tell u insurance will not pay. Its a scare tactic. They will. If u find the PCP will give orders for home therapy tell the Director of nursing you want Mom discharged. That you have made arrangements for Homecare. Your Mom is not in jail. She has rights. If they refuse, call your State Ombudsman.
For the future, you do not have to go to rehab. I wish I had thought of homecare when my Mom went there. It could be done at her AL.
