Dear Friends, We have a family conference regarding my Dad's discharge from the Rehab hospital. "His Medicare days are up", according to them. Dad seems to be benefiting from ST, PT and OT there, and we feel he should stay longer. They want his to go to a LTAC facility, but that means starting over with a new speech pathologist and all. * Any suggestions for the meeting today * Can we get an extension of days and if so, how? * We have not seen a wheel chair or communication device for him (his voice is just a whisper, his swallowing is poor)- can he be discharged before the right solutions are found for mobility and communication? Looking for experience before we learn the hard way. In Him, Bo PS- did you find that home ST and PT was better than at Rehab hospital or LTAC?
