Margaret is working at her rehabilitation as the Physical and Occupational therapists visit her and help her gain strength and mobility. After a few medical tests are finished she will be moving to a rehabilitation facility which we will keep you updated on so you will know where to find her! From what I understand it will be an intensive time of work and classes. She has had visitors and greatly appreciates them. Thank you for the flowers, cards and prayers you offer.

Barb, someone posted these questions on our new web site. I realized I don't have your email address to send them so I am going to try to post them here.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the question of a good rehab facility:
When investigating rehabilitation facilities and services, some general questions to ask include the following:
Does my insurance company have a preferred rehabilitation provider that I must use to qualify for payment of services?
What is the cost and will my insurance company cover all or part of the cost?
How far away is the facility and what is the family visiting policy?
What are the admission criteria?
What are the qualifications of the facility? Is the facility accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)?
Has the facility handled treatment for this type of condition before?
Is therapy scheduled every day? How many hours a day?
What rehabilitation team members are available for treatment?
What type of patient and family education and support is available?
Is there a physician onsite 24 hours a day?
How are emergencies handled?
What type of discharge planning and assistance is available?
I am happy to talk to family members about questions they have-DJQUIG
