[quote=Anonymous]This is a very tough situation.

The best incentive for you to move him would be to get out from under the co-signer burden.

You might be able to move him to a skilled nursing facility, especially if he first has a hospital stay to adjust medications, evaluate mental status, identify skilled needs, etc.  Medicaid might be in the picture if he runs out of money there.

If you don’t want to or can’t move him, look into how effective his pain management is. Pain makes people ornery sometimes. Take away the offending pajamas and substitute acceptable loungewear. See if you can get him on visit lists for whatever groups come to the facility.

And, yes, check in with a local attorney who is affiliated with the National Academy of Elder law Attorneys. Have them review the relevant contracts. Ask them about alternative facilities.

It sounds like he is a handful and that the facility is playing hardball to get rid of him. He will probably be better off elsewhere if you do some shopping. [/quote]
