[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Refuse to leave the skilled nursing facility without a placement.[/quote]

Can I do this if they were deemed “independent” for the ADL’s such as bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, transferring? [/quote]What makes them need assisted living?[/quote]

Can’t cook, shop, drive, needs help with finances, difficulties using electronics and phone. Can’t walk stairs, unsteady on feet (had numerous falls leading to hospitalization then SNF).[/quote]

Np those are easy fixes. Do they need to cook? What about making sandwiches or heating up pre made dinners. Can they do that? You can get amazon delivery and groceries delivered.

Are you their child? You should take over their finances. Even if they go to assisted living. There are so many scams out there.

Low income senior housing (not assisted) is easy to find. [/quote]

To add to this, until someone requires SNF care, it’s going to be tough to get a discharge to be considered unsafe. If you try to prevent discharge by refusing to go, then the facility will just evict them and sue for whatever assets exist. You can’t stay without a payor source. Your best bet is to work with the discharge planner to get whatever assistance is out there.

Like with what you mention, get grocery delivery, meals on wheels, a lifeline that you can press a button for help in the event of a fall, a social worker to come in and help with finances. [/quote]
