nursing home discharge of a resident?

I'm not sure what your question is, but I'm sure before anyone gets discharged, there must be documented records of significant improvement. Unless the patient/family wants to discharge him/herself. I believe if that happens without doctor's approval then their insurance may not cover some things from that point on. You may want to check with the homes social service department to see what options you have.

You should receive one in the mail once you've been discharged.  Or you can go to www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov\nYou can pull up all your information on your case.

An Ombudsman takes complaints from family members and then reports problems to the state. Most of them are paid off by the nursing homes though. It's much better to call the state with complaints yourself.

I don't live in your area, but often times, you can get a job at a nursing home and they will give you free training.  Also, at least in Ohio, if you pay for your training, and you work for a LTCF for at least a year afterwards, they must, by law, reimburse you for your training (if you request that they pay you).

I work in a nursing home and I'm a mandory reporter of abuse. The police can not always help. You need to get a hold of Department of Human Services in your area

While in basic training, there are only three general types of discharges he can even be considered for: Punitive (misbehavior), medical, and what are known as Chapter 11 or Entry Level Performance and Conduct (called chapter 11 because it is the guiding regulation AR 635-200, Chapter 11). A punitive discharge he DOES NOT WANT. They usually come officially characterized as Other Than Honorable or Bad Conduct discharges (these are very bad) and those will haunt him on every job application or back ground check he has to process. Medical is possible and are normally officially declared as General or Honorable (these are very good). The drawback there is first he would have to get hurt real bad (don't want that), and 2nd it seems to take forever to actually get a soldier through this process - he won't be home for a long long time while he waits and the medical community evaluates and tests him. The Chapter 11 can only be applied for under 4 specific grounds: inability, lack of reasonable effort, failure to adapt to the military environment, and minor disciplinary infractions. A Chapter 11 is almost always characterized as a General discharge (not good, but not bad either), so it has no severe long term damage. The biggest blow will be a nearly complete loss of all veterans benefits. HOWEVER, it is critical to know that whichever discharge he applies for, the situation involving him is BONA FIDE (real and not made-up). The Army will investigate and his chain of command will be required to write formal memorandums attesting to the facts. Your husband will more than likely also be required to complete a formal Sworn Statement attesting to whatever issue is prohibiting him from service. If he has no ACTUAL issues, and it is proven, he can be prosecuted. On the other hand, if he truly is unable to adapt or incapable of performing the tasks directed, then a discharge based on AR 635-200, Chapter 11 (I copied a link to this regulation below) is what he needs to file. I am going to be brutally honest here, based on the information you provided, were I his Commanding Officer, I do not believe that he has a legitimate discharge application. So for your sake, I am hoping there is information you have not spoken about that does apply to the regulation. I wish you and yours the best - take this decision VERY seriously - its implication has more than just legal issues: how will your friends react? Your Family? The community? Your Church? Think all that through before acting - just a suggestion.

Social Security is not means dependent & doesn't "take" anything.\n\nIf she signed an agreement to pay the nursing home, she is responsible or they'll kick him out.  \n\nIf she is NOT liable she or they will have to find him a facility that will take medicaid.  Medicaid WILL impose a lien on his house if it is in his name. \n\n"He gave her the house. . . " is too vague.  If he deeded it to her that long ago it is probably safe from a Medicaid lien.  If he did not give it to her by deed, then it will either preclude his medicaid eligibility or be subject to the Medicaid lien.   If they try to deed it now, it is too late; he'll lose his Medicaid eligibility.\n\nThis is a case where she must talk to a lawyer who deals with wills & estate or an specialiizes in "eldercare" before she does anything.

Are you looking to work there or place someone there.  Whatever state you are in you can look for state board of nursing.  If you are looking to place someone in a nursing home go visit don't just go by ratings.  Trust me please.  Things are not what you would expect.  The staff knows when the state comes in to inspect and the try to have everything ship shape.  I highly don't  recommend.  I know what goes on in there.

Is it in the trachea, or in the mouth?   It really depends where it is. More than likely they will have a feeding tube that goes to the stomach through the nose. obviously they will be on O2. Otherwise the CNA cares are the same as for a bedridden patient. turn every 2 hours, bed baths and such. Feeding the resident will be left up to the licensed nursing staff.

If the property belongs to her, and she can't afford to pay for the nursing home expenses, then the government will take the house to cover expenses.  If she has signed the property over to you (or someone else) prior to seven years before she goes into the nursing home, then it would be clear of risk.

There is something called a hardship discharge.  I'm not sure how extreme that the circumstances have to be to receive that, however.  Seeing the chaplain is a good place to start.

He should check with the state liscense boards for nursing. My state requires approval from the board of nursing for such problems. He also has an advisor with the nursing school he attends, and they will be able to help him find this information.

I work as a care coordinator in assisted living.  We enforce HIPPA daily.  I'm constantly reminding the caregivers and staff that only those who need to know are to be told.  We do not call the resident's by name when we are talking about them amongst each other, we use room numbers only so that if someone overhears it is confidential.  The confidentiality of our residents information is very important to us.
