[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,
My aunt is at a rehab facility in Virginia. Prior to the hospitalization that led to rehab, she was walking some. However, since the hospitalization she has stopped walking and is effectively bed bound unless there are two strong people to move her. Rehab is ready to discharge her soon (I guess because Medicare has said they will stop paying at some point). However, she has no place to discharge to. Her finances make her too wealthy for Medicaid but she does not have finances that can support assisted living (she is also married and her husband is still in their apartment and can still live alone.)

They have appealed to Medicare, but even if the appeal is approved then it doesn’t forever solve the problem. If my aunt stays past the Medicare date she will incur charges that she can’t afford

I am trying to support my mom and other family members who are trying to manage this by seeing what resources or ideas are out there. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.[/quote]
