The Family Caregiving Dilemma

We often assume that, on discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, families will provide caregiving for their loved ones. The discharge process involves assessing the intensity and skill level of assistance needed by the patient, and decisions about placement recommendations often hinge on the intensity and availability of caregiving resources. This responsibility often falls on family members, and there are ethical issues involving allocation of resources, family duties, and potential harms, among others.
