When my Dad [94] came home from the hospital and didn't want to stay in a rehab center, he got around 3 hour per week for a number of weeks [visiting nurses who took vitals, and physical therapy]. This was 7 years ago, rules could have changed.

Have you talked to someone at Medicare? Reading what is posted on their site can be confusing since there may be qualifying issues. I suspect the agencies would know what they can be compensated for by Medicare.

I already have this information but it doesn't change what the agencies say. It's a matter of how many hours he gets, 3 hours per week or 35 hours per week.
