[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP who said it’s their life. There is safe and then there is safe. My parents are frail but in their right minds and I have seen hospital social workers discharge my father in circumstances that seemed quite unwise to me. Their bar for safety seemed to be rather low.[/quote] It’s not the social worker’s choice. If the patient has capacity to make their own decisions, they get to make the decision to go home. The only thing the social worker can do is make sure a patient’s capacity is assessed by Psych, and call APS. They cannot force someone to go to a nursing home/rehab/ALF against their will. BTDT many times.[/quote]
