tracheostomy and ventilator in ICU help

I wish I knew, and I'm sorry your family is going through this. You'll do considerably better at sites that are devoted to just medical care or nursing, such as WebMD, to get a more accurate response. Of course no one who's at all competent and cognizant of medical ethics will provide medical advice over the Internet, but they might be willing to answer the question you're posing re normal procedures.

I'd also advise getting a second opinion - in person - if you are concerned.

Sorry about your dad.

If you are asking if moving a patient from the ICU to rehab is common? Sure. There is a lot more going on here to just focus on that part. The best strategy is just keep good communication with his DRs, nurses, etc.

I happen to work in a hospital as a discharge planner and this is typical. Depending whether the patients vitals are stable (not mention insurance coverage) if a patient is stable enough for transfer to a rehab facility this would occur but I would need to know more. Sounds like he is going to a SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility).
