[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MOST important thing is that neither you nor the relative accept him into your home now.  Then the hospital will have to find a bed for him in a place that will care for him, no matter what insurance he has, or doesn't have.

Once someone accepts him into their home, it is it is over, and on you, rather than the hospital, to solve the problem. [/quote]

This is why it is important for OP/relative to sit the man down and tell him point-blank that he is not welcome to return "home," the system will have to figure out a way to support him, and OP/relative will be hands off from now on.

I doubt that OP/relative will be willing to do this, though.

I'm also not sure if the man would have any rights if the house he's living in has been his primary residence for some time. In other words, he would essentially be evicted.  While the relative can kick any adult out of their home for any reason there may be consequences to do so.  For example, has the man been paying "rent" (or contributing his social security) to the household?  He may have rights as a renter. [/quote]
