[quote=Anonymous]OP, all I can tell you is that my brother and sister are doctors and when the hospital wanted to discharge her to rehab, they refused. Said she would not get good care, based on their professional experience, and would be better off at home. We have 24-7 help at home and when we told the caregivers about the rehab option those who had worked in rehabs told us, "Shoot, you put her in rehab, they'll check on her twice a day." They were not looking after their own paychecks, as we needed them at home to look after our other parent. It's expensive and hard to set up, but if you can manage it, your parent may be better off at home with a caregiver. As for the restraint issue - we are in a different state. We had a wheelchair with a seatbelt and a geri chair with a tray. I did not understand that those were restraints. I do think they increased the decline of my parent's able-ness. It's probably good the restraints are not allowed.[/quote]
