[quote=Anonymous]Depends on a lot of factors. Is he medically fragile? If so then maybe home is better. Is he going to be compliant? Are you going to be able to manage his care? Can you get him to the bathroom and bathe him? How much pain is he having? How deconditioned is he? I used to work in rehab and my spouse still does. My observations is that some hip fractures can easily rehab and others are really tough. Just saw a really bad one recently where the inpatient rehab was months. So just knowing it’s a hip fracture doesn’t give people much to go on to help you with this. Personally though, I would rehab in a facility because performing self care and helping toilet a family member is something I wouldn’t want to do unless there were no other options. [/quote]
