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.

They will send a social worker to talk to you. This person will make all kinds of promises about infinite homecare services that will come to your house and endless resources if you allown your MIL to go back to your home.
It's one great big lie. If she's lucky they will send a bath aide once or twice a week that insurance will cover.
The hospital will keep her admitted until a bed becomes available in a LTC facility. You will not have to take care of getting her on Medicaid or anything else. The facility the hospital puts her in will do the application.
Good luck and stay strong. Don't let her come back.
Above is a link to your last question along with the comments
If she is in the hospital long enough for Rehab Medicare pays 100% the first 20 days, 21 to 100 50%. None of these days are guaranteed. Medicare can have her discharged at anytime. Supplementals may pick up the 50% they may not. For my Mom they didn't. So I told the finance office they better do what they needed to in that 20 days because there was no money after that. She was out in 18.
This is where the rubber meets the road. Will you stand strong and refuse to allow her to return to your home? WILL YOUR H REFUSE, ALSO???????
Keep us updated.
SHE CANNOT COME BACK TO OUR HOME. WE CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR HER.
WE WANT A SOCIAL ADMIT.
Sorry to yell. That is what you need to say.
If they "threaten" psych until, ward of the state, say "yes, please".
Don't let them snow you.
UNSAFE DISCHARGE!! UNSAFE DISCHARGE! And if you want her to go to rehab make sure you know the requirements for her transfer. I believe that she has to stay in the hospital 3 full days (3 midnights) in order to qualify. Don't let them talk you into taking her home before that. Tell them that she is an unsafe discharge and you cannot take her home and that you need a social worker.
If you are concerned about mental health, tell you them you want a psych consult while you are there. Tell the charge nurse and the social worker what is going on. Do whatever you have to in order to keep her there and do not under any circumstances agree to take her home - they will help you but you cannot make it easy for them to "not" help you.
Be careful because they will promise you lots of services at home if you take her home. That's not what you want. You want them to send her to rehab at the very least to give you time to figure out your next steps.
From your earlier post she has the following:
1. Mental health issues
2. Bowel Incontinence and lack of awareness of proper toileting
3. Fainting spells
4. Multiple falls
5. Loss of hygiene
Add to that the fact that her caregivers can no longer provide the physical caregiving that she needs. You are going to have to stand your ground and tell them that you can no longer provide her care and tell them that she needs assessment and placement.
But use those exact words - UNSAFE DISCHARGE and do it with anyone that even mentions taking her home.
UNSAFE DISCHARGE
SOCIAL ADMIT
Take care of yourself, all the best
