next step after acute rehab center for quads

We do sympathize with you and your quest to help your aunt. There should be social service workers in your area, whether they are in the county or hospitals in your area. Someone there should be able to give you some guidance on how to get your aunt the help you are seeking for her. And just a thought, if you are feeling so overwhelmed, how do you think your aunt is feeling? I can only imagine, as I have a wife to help me, I can only wonder. I hope that you find someone who can help. We have some wonderful members here and maybe someone can help you. I'm so happy that you joined here, there may be some members in your area here also. We will always be here to give you a kind ear and be as helpful as we can. And thank you for helping your aunt.

www.brainandspinalcord.org/rehab-directory/california/ Welcome blusaphire6, I don't know if these help. I don't know much about your situation. I have read that it's important to get in rehab, before being put in SNF. The reasoning was it would almost be impossible to move from SNF, to a rehab facility. I hope someone here has more factual info.
I believe you have four weeks then the hospital tries to move you. I think you should stay until you find a place. I think I read this on CareCure, at least a similar situation.
Keep us updated, we'll try to help.sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?257598-Delay-in-rehab I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that, we'll see, I guess

.Blusaphite6, it can take MONTHS to get medicaide and medicare to go into effect. Please forgive my intrusion, but you need to do that "yesterday". A good Social Worker could help you get this done. As TJ and Jaylock have said, you should probably request a social worker. A home health care agency recently put me in contact with a helpful social worker, who got on the phone with me (conference call) and helped me get a service re-instated. Having said this, I've also tried to get help from a social worker who seemed not to care, and almost nothing got done. I say this to help you through these hard times, because it can be very frustrating to be trying to get something done while "using" a social worker who doesn't...well,...WORK. So, be aware that both kinds exist.

Please pass along our good wishes and sympathy to your Aunt. She is in a 'learning curve' that she had never expected and didn't volunteer for. How much can she actually move at this time? She has a C5 C6 injury, and has had surgery. Was the injury "incomplete"? What can she move consistently at this time?
