Mom wants to be discharged and go back home. After seeing and hearing what is REALLY !!! going on in that place; I DON'T BLAME MOM ONE DANG BIT FOR WANTING TO GO BACK HOME! Everyone of Mom's friends says that she does not need to be in there. Well, I spoke to the Social Worker today, and they are having a Family meeting tomorrow Morning for Mom. Mom and I both said that she wants to go home. I told them I want Mom discharged right away. Come to find out , THEY ARE NOT MAKING IT SIMPLE!! They said "it's a process" I then said " if you refuse to discharge Mom when we have both told you she wants to go home, then , you are holding Mom hostage !! " Is there any way that they can force my Mother to stay in that Nursing Home , and refuse a discharge to her home ? I took care of Mom before she went into the Home, and after seeing how bad that place is, I can definitely do a better job than what they are doing!

If your mom wants to leave, and you want to bring her home, your both adults, dont ask permission just go.

I do not believe they can force her to stay without a court order

I have two daughters that work at a assisted living home, not sure about making them stay but I do know that both of my girls care a lot about the people they care for, had a really sad and teary night a coupe nights ago when a resident they were very fond of passed away. I know we all hear about the apple at care homes but there are some care givers who really care and do a good job. I hope you get her home quickly.

I got a Laundry list of issues with that place. 1. One of the Aides got fired because she threatened to punch my Mother in the Nose !! When the Nurse called to tell me what happened between the Nurses Aide and my Mom, that Nurse was really nervous. 2. The food looks like it is barely edible. 3. Some of those Nurses are flat out RUDE! 4. I swear some of those Patients in there are put on some sort of meds. Some of them look and sound all doped up. 5. Clothing that gets "Lost " 6. And the best yet!!! When I WANTED TO LEAVE THAT FLOOR, one Nurse's Aide almost REFUSED TO LET ME LEAVE!! They thought I was one of the Patients , too !!!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jot down some notes about why you want her out of there. Unsanitary conditions, perceived maltreatment, lack of staff following prescribed programs, dates of your visits when you witnessed things, etc. Also ask about staff/resident ratios and if they have held consistent with state rules. BE VERY SPECIFIC WITH EVERYTHING!

What warrior said. Unless someone has a POA for medical care over her,she cannot be kept against her will.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If your mom wants to leave, and you want to bring her home, your both adults, dont ask permission just go. Yep, pack the bags and walk out. You should have a State Ombudsman that is there for patients rights, whistle blowing, etc. Get in touch with them ASAP. Good advice

You watch the move called “ I care alot “. it will give you all the answers you will need about keeping people in a nursing home against their will. Get a lawyer and file charges then walk your mom out of the building. I would also request the local sheriff to escort the 3 of you out of the building. Might have to make a small political contribution to his re-election campaign. But it works. Marty

Is Medicare involved? How many daily needs does she require help with?
Can she prepare her food? Take her meds by herself? Dress herself Bathe herself Enter and exit the bed without assistance Attend to her toilet needs by herself Walk unassisted Use the telephone unassisted Perform basic housekeeping chores Is her home on one floor, how many steps are there
These are the items a social worker will consider.
