[quote=Anonymous]I am the first poster under OP...and I'm so glad this information has been helpful. (I happen to work as a client care manager for a company in the DMV that manages "life care" needs for elderly clients and clients with disabilities in the DMV...which was a result of navigating this through a crash-course with my own parents who were states away just prior to covid.) All that is to say...I definitely know what you are going through as the adult children...but also I am more than happy to share the knowledge I have gained through my work experience helping out others.

And OP I concur with what the other posters after me are saying about medicare.
They wlll, however, cover the inpatient rehab stay AND any post-inpatient rehab in-home VISITS from OT/PT services. Upon discharge, they will give you the name of a home health service that will contact you to set up these appointments. (Please note that these are different from the CNA caregiver services I mentioned.)

It is important to accept these OT/PT services (or persuade your MIL to accept the services) offered to her--which will be anywhere from probably 3-6 times a week for about an hour each visit--and emphasize to her that even if she does not feel up to doing the exercises or getting out of bed when they come, she NEEDS to do it anyway because if the patient says "no I don't want to do it today" they will just go away....but they will only allow 2-3 "refusals" before discontinuing this service. And once they terminate that and she wants to re-start, it will be out of pocket.

Feel free to fire off any questions and I'm happy to respond or support other responses. DCUM as a force for GOOD! Hooray![/quote]
