Medicare will cover most, or in some cases, all of the skilled care costs, if the patient qualifies for Medicare Part A.  Post-surgery, or following a hospitalization,  Medicare requires a 3-night hospital stay to qualify the insured for a skilled rehabilitation stay.  
 

Physical Therapy is provided to train a patient how to stand, sit, and walk after a hip or knee surgery.  It is also used to rebuild muscle strength, or learn how to ambulate and walk, after a stroke or severe illness.  Physical Therapy is planned, overseen, and assessed by a licensed Physical Therapist, who works with a Therapy Assistant, to deliver care and encouragement.

 
Occupational Therapy is the training to teach a patient how to do activities of daily living after a stroke, critical illness, or surgery.  Many times, a patient has to be taught how to dress themselves, use their kitchen again to make a meal, or tie their shoes, within the boundaries of their new health status.  Sometimes adaptive equipment may have to be used so a patient can help themselves dress, or eat.  Occupational therapy is a big part of returning to your own home, and doing all the things you love!
 
Speech Therapy is the training of a patient how to speak, or eat, after a stroke or injury, or helping to address issues with speech, or swallowing, that may have gradually become more difficult.
