Rehabilitation (rehab): is therapeu- tic care for persons requiring intensive physical, occupational, or speech thera- py. Rehab may be provided in a special facility, by home care professionals, or sometimes a skilled nursing facility is utilized as a place for rehab after surgery or injury to help the senior regain the skills and movement needed in order to return back to their home.
If the hospital where care was provided is assisting you with finding a facility for your loved to rehab be aware that you do not have to accept the first facility they find. You can so NO to the option they offer. You can offer sug- gestions for where you want your loved one to go. Oftentimes the first facility available is not convenient for you or you already know your loved ones long term care wishes in terms of a facility they want to go to.
Work with the discharge plan- ner to set up the best choice, not necessarily the first choice available, for your loved one.
Respite care: Some nursing homes, residential care facilities, and hospice care facilities provide respite care. You may also receive respite care in your home. Respite care is short-term assistance so the primary caregiver can rest. Medicare covers inpatient respite care for up to five days if you’re getting covered hospice care services. Room and board are cov- ered for inpatient respite care and during short-term hospital stays. If you’re eligi- ble, Medicaid will pay for some of these services at home that aren’t covered by Medicare.
Keep in mind that if you are the care receiver you may be unhappy with the thought of someone other than your loved one providing care from time to time. But the reality is that caregiver’s often suffer from serious health condi- tions that do not get appropriate care and treatment for fear of upsetting the care recipient. Caregivers need, no must, take opportunities for a break for their health and mental well-being, not to mention the time to take care of other family members. Not only should you
gratefully allow time for respite but as a care recipient, you should make certain it happen.
Respite provides caregivers with needed renewal time so they can continue to support their care partners long into the future.
