Jo2929 Asked January 2014

Can my Mom come there temporarily to get stronger before going home from the hospital?

Once she comes there she stays?

Thanks for your answer, Geewiz. I agree that either part of Jo2929's question was cut off or that she is under the impression that Agingcare can provide housing. Agingcare does have a search function to help people find senior housing in their chosen areas, but the site is not connected to a physical facility.
Good luck, Jo2929!

Your question must have been cut off. If you are asking about skilled nursing or rehab more details would be helpful. Generally, someone on Medicare may be eleigble to have 20 days in rehabilitative services (typically at a section of a skilled nursing facility). The person must have been admitted to the hospital and have a stay of at least 3 days. While in rehab, the person must be showing improvement.
After the first 20 days, 80% is eligilbe for Medicare coverage IF NEEDED. People go home from rehab,if that is suitable. Is this what you are seeking?
