[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes things just have to unfold or a crisis has to arise to force decisions to be made and actions to be taken. Your parents have capacity to make their own decisions, from what you describe but there are consequences to refusing inpatient rehab. It’s gut-wrenching but you are not in a position to monitor them 24x7 and if your dad is as weak as you describe, he may have a fall/hospitalization that leaves no choice but to go to rehab or even LTC (the facility’s financial office will work with families to apply for Long-Term Care Medicaid). If you call A Place for Mom, they can provide you with information about less costly ALFs, which are usually privately-owned group homes. [/quote]
