> This is a question, generated by a friend of mine. We live in MA, her

father was visiting a daughter in CA when he had a massive stroke. By my

neighbor's understanding, her dad will not be eligible for IRF until he can

transfer with moderate assist x 1. So, because he is max assist (R HP,

recently had pacemaker placed so has restrictions using L arm) he is to

transfer from LTAC to SNF level of care. Once he is better at transfers, he

will be able to go to the IRF.

from IRF going to SNF but not vice a versa. Could my neighbor have the

information wrong? Or am I out of touch with recent changes.
