Try a different place next time! Some facilities are very cookie cutter or assembly line rather than thoughtful or careful...a lot of it is corporate culture,sometimes a good individual staffer or two can make all the difference...

Bring your mom home and ask her doctor for home health agency referral for "safety and adl and fall risk evaluation" just because she reaches maximum potential for nursing home doesn't mean she's actually reached potential. My mom (who's a retired nurse and director of home health agency) said she's seen stroke patients plateau for a while then make more progress once home. The issue sadly with the nursing home is once she's reached the 100 days they don't get anymore money regardless of her rehab status.

I had to move my mother, on Easter Sunday. (She was private pay.) There is a lot of differences between various rehabs and NH. Good luck and I hope things get better.
