My father was given notice today by the facility he's living in that they will be providing him with a letter tomorrow informing him he will no longer allowed to be a patient living there any longer after 10 days. They are blaming it on not being able to provide for his needs. In all actuality, it's because he's a difficult patient who has done a lot of complaining about the way he is cared for. Isn't there a law about retaliatory discharge from a nursing home? They don't like him because he complains about substandard care. It's not his fault that it's a poor facility that does indeed need changes. He is a private pay patient, not using Medicare or Medicaid. Who can I contact to help?
Good luck,
Carol
Oh well, the most important thing is that he isn't currently being kicked out. I was panicking about what I was going to do with him over the holidays. He's too large of a man for me to take care of at home. Thank you all for your help.
Since my dad doesn't have any pain and is alert but needs transfusion every two weeks recently, we don't want to put him in hospice because he doesn't need pain management and also hospice rule of no blood transfusion will certainly speed up his death. I know soon or later he will die but it is difficult for us to see that he is forced to be in hospice or died soon. Any suggestions are appreciated.
