[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any laws regarding what services MUST be given to a resident of an assisted living facility? As they decline, can their needs become so great that they may be asked to move to a nursing home?

On the other hand, can someone already on hospice care move into an assisted living facility rather than a nursing home/skilled care facility if they have their own private hospice care team already in place?

Trying to think a few steps ahead. Thanks.[/quote]

You can get kicked out of an assisted living facility and often you aren't given much time. [/quote]

How about if we move a parent into assisted living already on hospice and with our own private hospice care team (that we pay for)?[/quote]

Doubtful, [b]assisted living centers are only allowed to accept certain types of residents and that doesn’t include people who need assistance with daily life skills.[/b]  Since hospice nurses aren’t under their suoerviisio or employment, that doesn’t change what the calculus.

There are some really nice hospice centers.  I’d look into those[/quote]

This is what I'm tryin to find out. Is this covered by law or just the regulations of the facility? Parent DOES NOT want to go into a nursing home but will consider assisted living environment. We want to figure out timing on the move if any. So is there a law governing what kind of needs are too much for the facility to accept, or do we just find one willing to let them in? And when?[/quote]

What does your parent need now?  Can they manage in assisted living currently or do they need more care?  How are their financial resources?[/quote]
