1. Here's the info:

In home care: http://www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/10969.pdf

Skilled nursing center care (includes recuperative care after a hospitalization): http://www.medicare.gov/publications/pubs/pdf/10153.pdf

Go to www.medicare.gov with your Medicare questions. They're all answered there. If you're hospitalized, the social worker at the hospital will also have all this information.

I found these two brochures with a simple Google search.

Will send the info to my step daughters who need

not to bother you folks with simple questions that i
could find the answer for myself.......z

4. Nobody on DU minds helping. The information is just to

help save you time when you have a question. It's almost always faster, and much more reliable to search for answers and go to reliable websites.

Just for future questions. It's amazing what's out there from official sources you can trust.

3. Yes, there is in home care after hospitalization. Medicare pays 100%

for it as long as it's medically necessary.
