[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]

Assisted livings are less regulated than nursing homes; it’s really all about what’s in their contract. I work in a hospital and some assisted livings require a certain level of ability to manage daily activities before returning home, while others continue to care for dependent patients. It varies so much.

We have sent many hospice patients home to assisted living. You just have to check with the particular facility.[/quote]
