Your neighbor’s father has just had a stroke and is in the hospital. She has called upon you to consult with her, and gather information about alternative services they may use when he comes home to live with her. He is paralyzed on one side and must use a wheelchair. You report to her as a health care professional helping her with discharge planning. In this paper, you will detail: • all the options available based on his condition and her ability as a single, working woman to care for him • payment criteria and options in the continuum for her to consider such as rehabilitation, ADS, nursing facilities, assisted living, home health, etc.
