Oh no. I'm sure you're well aware but that doesn't sound good. I also don't see how your Grandma can take care of him if he needed around the clock nursing care as of 4 days ago.
Good luck and best wishes that you can get this sorted out. Have you talked to your Dad's Mom?

I'm so sorry this is happening. When my mother was recovering from heart surgery they wanted to place her i a skilled nursing facility because her doctor wouldn't clear her for the rehab facility (she has to be deemed capable of handling three hours of physical/other therapies per day to go to the rehab facility). What worked for us was when we found a rehab facility that we liked, we took a tour, met with someone (a director of some sort - I'm sorry, I don't recall the position, it was several years ago at this point) and by telling this person about our mother the rehab place thought she could handle it and they contacted the hospital (maybe the social worker) and the rehab place was able to get the designation changed. Maybe that's a way to go? Good luck.
