except straight Medicare -

the rehab center has to be in the network and the social worker found one not too far from home.

But.. none of them allow visitors. So decided to look at a few that are close to the hospital. This way, if there is an emergency the hospital will be close by.

Yes, will have to pay for transportation but as costs go, we should be able to handle this. I think.

Will have to wait and see. Thanks to all who made suggestions.
