This was suggested to me by the Social Services offices when I expressed conflict about choosing between home health services and LTC with Medicaid. Mom has dementia and is rehabbing a fractured knee. Her dementia has worsened while in rehab, and wonder if she might improve at home. She might be discharged in a few weeks (if she doesn't progress, or the 100 days of Medicare coverage ends).

Right now, though, I think the best thing to do is start the Medicaid application process, just in case we decide it would be best for her to remain at the same location but in the long term section.
Thanks for your feedback! I am alone -like many of you- making serious decisions about my mother, and grieving her increasing dementia.
The only way someone goes from home to rehab is if it is being paid privately.
