Did she receive any PT/OT during her stay? They would usually give her some basic exercises and education.
Rehab in the home is an option, too, if concerned about the convenience of attending appointments.
I was surprised how little info they gave her. Funnily enough she used to be an OT.
But I think you're right in home rehab is a good idea it's just whether she'll be okay with it.
Yeah, unfortunately it can really depend on the situation/length of stays and how pts are flagged/referred.
Very cool, but also tough. I don’t think anything quite prepares you from personally experiencing situations you’ve likely seen/treated other people for. I think rehab in the home is a good choice. It takes the stress out of transport and it can be more comfortable in your own environment.
Maybe just some brochures and leave it with her. It would be tough when everyone has an opinion. People mean well, but I know it can be frustrating.
