[quote=Anonymous]SNF should be covered by Medicare (for a period of time). Talk to the social worker at the hospital and find out which ones have bed available. You can research them on Medicare.gov for quality. Once he’s done with either the nursing care/OT/PT or whatever he’s receiving at the SNF then you will need to figure out what he needs and what you can pay for: 1. Stay at the nursing facility (the S means skilled, it’s just the level of billing) 2 Find an assisted living that can handle his care. Sunrise and similar will take all types of care but the charge just keeps going up 3. Home based centers- example listed in a previous post 4. Go home and arrange for an attendant. Likely $25/hour -+ at least through an agency. Home attendants can be tricky because in our experience staffing was difficult. If the case manager at the hospital isn’t explaining your options ask to talk to a patient advocate so you can better understand what your options are[/quote]
