She is in Westchester Medical Hospital and had a brain tumor removed. They want to start her radiation treatment. My question is: I am looking for a nursing home who will provide transportation from the nursing home to the hospital. She needs a nursing home that has Sub Acute Rehab for the 6-7 wks who will transport her back and forth. Her insurances are Medicare & Medicade. I am not happy with the social worker at the hospital. They just want to throw her anywhere to get her out of the hospital. The hospital is in Valhalla, NY Can you please help?
The reqiured transportation, if any, can be arranged by the staff at the facility she is placed in, let them do their jobs, if you can get anyone to do their jobs, these days.
R.N. discharge planner in addition to the social worker? Can you go to the administration office and ask to delay mom's discharge until you are given more choices? With Medicaid, the hospital must find a medicaid bed, but all/or most facilities may be reqiured to have a few medicaid beds, but may be full. This requirement comes from the contract with Medicare, if they accept Medicare funds. Find out. If you ask the hospital, you may get the answer most beneficial to the hospital. You can call Medicare, they will give you info, or refer you.
After my Dad had a surgery, the hospital transferred him to a nursing home that had a rehab center within the nursing home... there was no transporting back and forth. Are you sure that isn't the case?
