Tell the rehab team which parts of a home plan are not workable. A family may be able to visit without being able to provide daily assistance. Those are different commitments.
What to clarify
Ask for an assessment of needed support and appropriate settings. Do not promise care that the family cannot reliably provide just to resolve the immediate conversation.
A practical next step
Write a realistic availability schedule and review it with the team. Ask what alternatives should be explored if gaps remain.
Questions to take with you
- What support is needed each day?
- Which hours are uncovered?
- Who can help evaluate alternatives?
Turn answers into a next step
After your conversation, record what was confirmed, what still needs an answer, and who will follow up. Keep sensitive records in the appropriate private channel. These planning questions help organize a conversation; they do not replace a provider assessment or professional advice.
