I don't know how things work where you are, but around here the rehab facilities are separate from the hospitals. There are several around this area...some are better than others. Be sure to know ahead of time how things will transpire.There are usually at least two different levels of care. One is acute, but I can't remember the name of the other. If she is able to get around somewhat (not totally unable to walk), then most likely she wouldn't fall into the acute category. I'd suggest asking her social worker about the process. Here we are able to select from a list of facilities so we don't have to settle for wherever they decide to place someone; however, it will depend upon where a bed is available. Around here some facilities are really good while others are sub-par. It might help if you know your options ahead of time. The quality of rehab she receives just might make a difference. Please at least check on this before she is discharged from the hospital and know your options ahead of time. You might even be able to get some friends and relatives to give you feedback on which facilities are better than others. If they don't know, a general family doctor who does patient visits in facilities would know, and so would clergy.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
