[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is so common. My parents did this. I have many friends with parents who did this. Eventually there will be a crisis big enough that it will all come to an end. That is the brutal reality. Just point that out to your parents in stark terms. Eventually they will get discharged home and will get someplace not of their own choosing OR they'll die in a hospital, which is probably not the ending they want. I will say though the bar is EXTREMELY low to get sent home. The hospital just doesn't care and will send people home in a pretty appalling state. Hugs OP.[/quote] If a patient has capacity to make their own decisions (and it’s not uncommon for psychiatry to to a bedside evaluation to confirm this), the hospital has no choice but to send them home, because the hospital is not a LTC facility. All they can do is refer to APS to follow the patient in the community.[/quote]
