[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] Does she want assisted living? If so, I agree that she should get case management services before she’s discharged from the facility she’s in now. If she does return home, the case manager can set up services like Meals on Wheels, which will alleviate some of the need to sook, shop, and drive, and will mean that an adult volunteer will be briefly checking up on her on a regular basis.
