He has been combative at times there. How many times can he go into Nursing home with the alloted 21 days covered thru Medicare? What does she do if he is unable to stay at home or she cannot care for him? She will go broke hiring help at home. She did talk to Elder care and said it was expensive and not much help. We are not only worried about Dad but she is wearing down from caring for him. She is constantly worried.

Why did she allow him to come home? Did she understand that she was allowed to say "no, I can no longer care for him at home" and have him become a long term care patient?

Dad needs more than 21 days in rehab can do. Talk to his PCP and tell him/her how Dad is. There are meds for this.
