[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound heartless, but I don't mean it that way. If she is not safe to be discharged to her home, do NOT take her into yours unless you want her there the rest of her life. At the rehab hospital, if you tell them she is not safe to be discharged to home and you cannot take her, they will find a bed for her elsewhere.[/quote] No, they’ll only find a bed for her elsewhere if a healthcare provider determines she needs it. What family thinks doesn’t matter, it’s what the providers are willing to document that matters. If they determine she “can” go home, that’s where they’ll transport her. Since she doesn’t live alone and her husband is independent, they’ll almost certainly push discharge to home. Where is her husband in all of this? [/quote]
