My father is currently in a rehab facility and has been there almost two months. He was just approved SSI, and in Texas, will also receive Medicaid benefits. I was told I will get a card/letter in the mail regarding his Medicaid. Does anyone know how we can get my dad home after we get this letter? My understanding is that medicaid will pay the rehab facility for his stay but he can be transfered to home medicaid after 30 days (which he's already passed). We want to get him home as soon as we can (he's been in hospital and rehab place over 7 months). He needs someone to check on him and give him his medicines and we need to know how we can get his medicines and doctors visits once we take him home. Anyone have experience with this? I know the social worker is suppose to help, but I've been misled on a few items regarding benefits already, so I dont have much faith in the social worker. Please any help is appreciated!!
Consider spending whole days with dad at rehab or NH to fully understand what he can and can't do. Get those visiting nurses, OT, etc. set up and in place before dad returns home.
