Unfortunately that doesn't mean it can be put right. The people who messed up are not the same people who are rejecting him, and the facilities you're approaching have no duty to compensate for the original mistakes. Or even to take them into account, by being more flexible than normal with their admissions criteria.
It's something that he is now doing well where he is; and if he *were* to move the improvement would have to be really significant to be worth the disruption. How does your husband feel about possibly leaving good enough alone?
It would be interesting to know how long he has to have been stable before he is considered as no longer having behavioural issues. Interesting, but alas I suspect academic - I certainly wouldn't expect a straight answer to a straight question on that point.
How is he doing, have you been able to visit him recently?
Thanks for responding. My husband and I visited a couple of months ago while he was in the hospital having surgery. The administrator where he is at now, says he is doing good and not having any behavior issues.
My Dad was kicked out of two rehabs last year because of behaviors resulting from UTIs acquired at each facility. Upon being kicked out of the first one, he collapsed from severe UTI getting out of the car and had to be taken straight to ER for treatment. Case manager at the hospital got him a place in another facility upon discharge, but he got another UTI there, too, and they tried to kick him out twice more but I filed appeals with Medicare and won both times.
About ten days ago, Dad's heart rate plummeted into the 40s and had to take him into hospital for pacemaker placement. He was too weak to stand after lying in hospital bed for over a week, so discharge to SNF only option, and I feared none would accept him. His caseworker was was able to get him into one after all, even though the last "kick-out" incident had been eleven months ago.
If you have any valid reason to get your family member admitted to a hospital, it is likely the case manager will be able to get the family admitted to be facility upon discharge, provided assessment determines the family member cannot safely be released to home care.
I know this is very hard and stressful and wish you the best!
Thank you for responding. You are absolutely correct. Sorry, this has been so frustrating for me till I actually have a headache right now. Again, I am sorry. Just been going through this for so long now it has made me "sick".
Long story short …. My husband has a brother who got placed in a facility 4 hours away from home. "My husband and I have been trying to get him closer to home "FOREVER". However, all of the Memory Care Facilities that we have reached out to have all denied placement for him due to a history of behaviors in his past. We have recently learned that some of his behaviors were stemmed from him not receiving all his meds and staff being disrespectful to him. Also, he recently had to have surgery due to an underlined medical condition that could have also played a major part in the behaviors because of not knowing how to communicate. (dementia/alzheimers
Well, for few months now, we have been made aware that he is no longer having any unwanted behaviors, however, Memory Care units closer to home are still denying placement for him and they are saying it's because of behaviors. Does this make sense? Again, thank you for responding and any advice is appreciated.
