Dad transferred today from skilled nursing to an in-patient rehab hospital. The plan of keeping him in skilled nursing until he started to "plateau" ended up lasting about a week. As the therapy team only meets weekly, that's about as short as it could have run. At in-patient therapy, as in Oklahoma, he'll receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy, at least an hour of each per day. I'm glad for him to continue to receive intensive therapy.
I've heard initial estimates of one to three weeks at this hospital, at which time he'll discharge to a long-term care facility or residential care home. This next move should be his last for quite some time. We're assembling a short list of candidates nearby and will do our best to get a sense of them by phone interview and video tour.
