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
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

We cannot know your Dad's condition, diagnosis or prognosis, general condition. I don't know what kind of pain he is dealing with. But in truth from what you say the prognosis sounds very very guarded and uncertain. It is doubtful getting chemo would allow Dad ANY reserves to participate in rehab of any kind.
I am so sorry. I think anything those of us on Forum could advise would be guessing in a complicated and dire situation we know very little about. I do not know of anyone getting chemo and entering rehab at the same time in my career as a nurse.
I would discuss with your Dad's doctors options for help for him, but I suspect he will need placement for certain.
I do think that you are going to have to utilize family leave and travel to where your Father is to at least understand fully the situation, the prognosis, and the plan of care, and how to implement same. I am so sorry. This has to be shocking and I can't imagine how helpless you must feel at present. I hope you will update us.
You say Mom is in a NH now. Is she on Medicaid and if so, how did she get it and Dad didn't. Is 63 the correct age? Seems young for 2 people to be in NHs,
Rehabs are not skilled nursing. They primarily are physical therapy that maybe Dad is not able to do. And chemo is usually done in a hospital setting as is radiation. NHs are not equipped for this kind of care. Dad may need to be transported to an oncology unit. Seems to me, the cancer has spread to the bone. Why is chemo being suggested and how much time is it going to buy Dad?
