How do you evaluate Skilled Nursing places that also have Therapists?

@grrranny Generally, a social worker at the hospital will locate available beds in a rehab facility and figure out the insurance. Then, you and your husband can choose what is best for him.
@celia16 has provided you with excellent advice given her experience with her mom. In many facilities, the therapists work for another agency and come to the facility on a contractual basis. I would be my loved one’s “case manager” and make sure that the therapy occurs on a regular basis as ordered by the physician. I live in a rural area and so I can ask my friends and neighbors about their experiences at our local facilities. Is that something you would like to do?

Not true. When I got hurt I was told I need to go to rehab, which was part of a nursing. My family don’t live close and they put me in one. I didn’t want to go to.. They just took whatever and did not do what you were saying. I was starving because I have food allergies, and they could not figure out what to give me for 15 days. Black mold on the ceiling took five days before someone even came and looked at it to get it remove. The mattress was old that too took five days
I used to work at a nursing home and I could not believe that this place was still allowed to do this type of care.
Be careful walk through the place check out the bedrooms, the beds, showers or baths
Double check to make sure that they will get adequate food
Then things will be OK. I had a very bad experience
Wish you
