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.

Medicare pays 20 days 100%, 21 to 100 days 50%. Mom will be responsible for the other 50% unless her secondary pays full or part of it.
Her doctor may ask but he doesn't determine how long she is in Rehab. The therapist does and reports to Medicare. If Mom is making no progress or plateaus, Medicare will have her discharged.
I read ur other post and answered it. I suggest you call the SW at rehab. You seem to have a lot of questions that she maybe able to answer. You main problem is going to be when they discharge her. They need to understand that there is no one who can be with her 24/7. Stand firm on that. Do not allow yourself to be intimidated.
The part about her missing 7 days. I think that is taken in consideration. So she has 20 days, and has used 5 of them before going to the hospital. She goes back to rehab and still has 15. Something u can ask the SW. Your Mom is allowed more than 20 days in rehab if the Therapist feel more therapy is need. Just means that over 20, she maybe paying out of pocket.
I’d be concerned that she is not progressing and her health is such that she will not progress. So if that has been recorded in her chart, then MediCARE will stop covering rehab. You should speak with the PT & OT this week as to how she is doing. Missing sessions as she was out due to transfusions can be “credited forward”. Therapists have some leeway in how they record stuff in the patients chart. But sometimes, no amount of therapy is going to take them back to where they were before their fall.
If that is the situation, decisions need to be made as to if she is best off staying there & becoming a LTC resident as she will have 24/7 oversight.
If she is still telling nursing staff that you & your brother will be her caregivers on call for her back at her home & that is in no way going to happen, you have got to make it clear with the nursing staff, the SW and her doctors that is NOT happening. That she cannot return home as it is an unsafe discharge.
Low RBC, high BP and vomiting after meals isn’t normal. What was her health like b 4 the fall?
