Attending Physician or Medical Director: Gives the final approval for discharge.
Rehab Therapists: Assess progress in mobility, balance, cognition, and ADLs.
Social Worker or Case Manager: Helps determine what care is needed next.
Family or POA: Final say on what level of care is pursued after discharge.
