How do we find out about the best qualified physical therapists in our area?

My dad, age 83, had a stroke. He's finishing a 2 week acute care rehab program. We need to decide if he will go to a local out-patient rehab (nursing home) of if we could possibly set up home health/rehab to come to his home. My step mom is there with him. Worried about finding very skilled vs not so skilled help.

Talk to the PT people where he is now and ask if they do house calls.
Ask the Neurologist for a recommendation.
Observe him in PT and repeat those exercises daily at home. This part is an absolute must.
