[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to the social worker assigned to his case at the current facility. They will tell you your options given his level of mobility. From what you’re describing, assisted living doesn’t sound like an option. Sorry you’re going through this. [/quote]

+1 talk to the social worker op. At current level of functioning it sounds like he would need skilled nursing or 24 hr care at home with family but could be wrong as it’s just a description so definitely talk to the social worker. You could definitely do home with family but it depends on how much you can take on as it sounds like he would need a huge amount of care and home care is expensive. If he is at home with family he could get home PT and OT. Or if at skilled nursing he could hopefully continue to get rehab (if he qualifies and continues to participate) so that hopefully he can learn to transfer etc and get some of his independence back. Social worker can help you explore all options. [/quote]
