When a resident won't follow the rules

Specialties LTC Directors

Published

I have a resident who will not follow the rules about leaving the building. He says he can go whenever he wants. I am looking for another place for him to live but so far no luck. Do I have to keep him? If I had a place for him to go I'd pack his bags and drive him there myself. I'm thinking about calling the DPH for guidance. Any thoughts?

The hospital could not find placement for her & threatened to report our facility to the state....administrator told the hospital to go right ahead & report us. Next thing you know the resident was fine enough to discharge home. Imagine that! :rolleyes:[/quote']

Lots of times you find out the truth when you call someone's bluff. ;)
