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.

I don't know what SNF is. However, I too, said husband needs to get an lawyer specializing in elder care. Gena
"He makes too much money for her to qualify for Medicaid..."
Did they actually apply or is this an assumption? No one should assume this so they should talk to a Medicaid Planner for her home state.
If they have to downsize their home to afford caregivers, that may be the best option, if her recovery takes a long time. Her husband should sit down with a Certified Elder Care attorney to get some guidance and advice.
Best of luck.

It's too bad that they didn't try to figure this out until she got discharged.

Hopefully he is communicating with the discharge planner at the rehab centre - to arrange the care & services his wife will need at home - before she gets home.
Sometimes even the best planned help won't be enough & getting home is the real test.
They will either cope or not cope. If not coping, then back into the healthcare system can happen, maybe with a longer rehab stay.
Has your sister been able to speak up for herself? About what she expects & wants?
He could start by hiring an attorney that specializes in elder care law.
