[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. Then what is rehab?[/quote] Rehabilitative care is PT/OT in a setting that usuall provides a bit more care than assisted living. It’s for people who can gain strength and skills to return to assisted or independent living. Skilled nursing is for people who require 24/7 nursing supervision and are not candidates for rehabilitation.[/quote] When my mom was being discharged from acute hospital care, we were told that rehab was for people who could tolerate 4 hours of therapy a day (but needed more care than could be provided at home) and skilled nursing was for people who needed round the clock care and maybe could do a little maintenance therapy, but not as strenuous as rehab.[/quote]
