[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are 100% certain you won't take care of her, don't let her stay with you after a hospital stay or you will be stuck with her for a while. It sounds awful to say but hospitals need to discharge patients and will push/guilt you in to taking your parent.[/quote]

I am sorry but this sounds horrible. We are talking about a parent here. What has gone so wrong that we are ready to toss our elderly and vulnerable parents out on the streets. This is sad.[/quote]

Will the hospital toss her out on the street???  [/quote]

No, I found that out with my father-in-law. He wasnt a good father. He beat my husband with belts, electrical cords, etc. Also made him work under the table starting at age 11 on construction jobs and took all his wages. When my husband got into college he told my husband he was selfish for not working to give money to him. He had a stroke and moved in with my sweet sister in law who is a single mom who works two jobs. He was verbally abusive toward her. She would have to leave work when he would fall at their apartment or would call and say he had a toileting accident and she needed to come change him. One day he started feeling dizzy so my husband called 911 to take him to the hospital so she could have a break. We told her we would support her if she couldn't take him back. We met with the hospital social worker and they really pushed her hard to take him back. Luckily he was in th hospital for over 3 days so he got to rehab hospital for 30 days. Then from there to a nursing home that accepts Medicaid. He is in a room with two other men in a run down facility. [/quote]
