It all comes down to a numbers game, to codes, and etc.
Wishing you good luck.
He may need re-evaluation (and you will need to be his advocate in this!) about his being ready to come home (?) or if he needs a stay in a step-down type setting.
You need to be pretty upfront if you are incapable of helping him get up. DH had a simple sinus procedure yesterday, but he was given a general anesthesia. They told me if he started to fall to be sure to break his fall or catch him. I laughed and said to the nurse "He's 6'4" and 250 lbs. I'm 5'2" and 150 lbs. He falls, he falls. He'll kill me if I try to 'catch him'. She had not even really looked at us.
If he needs more care, please be the one to alert them to that situation. The last thing you want is to take him home, have a fall and be back at some NH b/c you jumped the gun as to bringing him home.
Good wishes!
