My husband was just transferred to a terrible rehab place. How do I get him transferred somewhere else?

Yes, how are things today?

It may depend on your location. In WA state, when I was concerned about his rehab location, I called other places. I was told we will accept him, and medicare will pay for it. I worked out the problem where he was. You should have a state agency that offers advice and tells you your choices. If you know of a better rehab, contact them.

Kam123,
Any update for us after 24 hours in the new facility? Hoping things are better.

My cousin transferred his Mom. She had been in a Rehab for 3 days or more with no PT. He was able to send hervto another one. Be aware though, the 20 days that Medicare pays 100% does not start over when he transfers to another Rehab.

I really don't think 2 hours is unreasonable. My Dad was taken to Rehab in the evening. He was placed in a temporary room and no one admitted him till the next day.

Start by speaking with Social Worker or Case manager and MD.

Go find another rehab SNF you like better from the list you were given. Have the admissions director help coordinate your husband's transfer from the dump to the new place and get Medicare's approval to do so. The new SNF should have a mini bus to come pick your husband up and take him over. This is what I had to do with my mother in 2019.

Best of luck to you.

Tell then you want him discharged and Have his doctor set up in Home Physical therapy and A CNA and VNA Nurse. Some rehabs are actually That bad . I went to One Place my brother called me and it was horrible and I Brought him to the local clinic and got him Home .
