By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink.

D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization.

You may or may not be able to accomplish this.
Your descriptions of what has or has not been done is quite vague, but then the treatment of TBI is as well.
The last few wars have been teaching medicine a whole lot about TBIs due to the huge rate of concussive injuries to the brain. We are on the cutting edge here. Some hospitals are indeed better at specializing in this, but there is quite often little to be done but good therapy. And in order to participate in that it is a requirement that there be enough youth and stamina to even try.
Each TBI injury is as individual as one's own thumbprint. That makes it problematic in treatment.
Much will depend on your insurance coverage, whether medicare with excellent supplemental or not. Your choice in hospitals and doctors is often limited by coverage. Social workers can hopefully help you understand your options. There may not be many. Meanwhile do research what hospitals in your area are specializing in TBI injuries. There are many fine memoirs out just now, and some have glossaries of institutions specializing, but online info may be your friend. Look up your area with the added words "specialist in TBI injuries".
Call the Tampa hospital to make sure they can take him.
Were you given a reason why the transfer couldn't take place? Have you taken your concerns/complaints to Patient Advocacy Services (941-917-1311 / [email protected])?
If you find no relief from there, transfers from one medical facility to another always start with the social worker in the facility where you wish care to be provided. You would also have to talk with the social worker in the current facility.
I hope your LO and you get what you need.

6. The patient has the right to make decisions about the plan of care prior to and during the course of treatment and to refuse a recommended treatment or plan of care to the extent permitted by law and hospital policy and to be informed of the medical consequences of this action. In case of such refusal, the patient is entitled to other appropriate care and services that the hospital provides or transfer to another hospital. The hospital should notify patients of any policy that might affect patient choices within the institution.
