He's been told he was getting out even this past weekend but they still haven't left, His sister have went when her friends that work there told her that she tells them something and he still can't leave, what can he do?
Is he a TBI a traumatic brain injury? Those can easily go way past the 100 days. TBIs can take months & months of recovery.
if you can, post a bit of background as to what happened to him and what his age is and kinda what his body what like before the incident or accident happened. Like if he was a fit and healthy 47 yr old 6’2” 210 who played soccer every weekend type of description. It was a bad auto or motorcycle crash or a bad fall, like off a high roofline.
It may be that he has no PoA and the hospital can see that he is an "unsafe discharge" so they may be keeping him until the county gets guardianship for him and he goes directly into a facility -- if he physically can't do his ADLs.
If you are communicating with him and not getting a straight story, it may be due to hospital delirium or just cognitive incapacity/confusion/memory impairment. His sister may not want him to be released back to his home, or hers.
Your question isn't clear so if you can provide more info it'd help:
- why was he in rehab? - how old is he? - does he live by himself or with you? What is his living situation if he would be discharged?
I am so sorry, but your question is not clear to me.
How old is your fiance, and what took him into rehab? Is your fiance mentally competent to leave, and is he physically ready to be discharged home alone or with some minimal help?
What reason are they giving him that he is not yet ready to leave? Some rehab facilities do both rehab and long term care. Have you attended any care conferences? Is your fiance mentally competent? Are you his POA? Is medical information currently being shared with you, or is he able to give you said information?
Hope you can tell us more; as things stand I can't imagine what in the world is happening here. Whatever's going on I surely wish you good luck.
After 100 days Medicare no longer pays. He is now private pay. If he can't afford it then the NH will ask for his Social Security and any pension he has. They then will apply for Medicaid for him. I am surprised no one has gotten in touch with you or a family member. He has probably been declared 24/7 care. If no one can care for him, its now an "unsafe discharge". He cannot be released if he cannot be properly cared for.
Who is on his paperwork as a person doctors can talk to. You or his sister? Does anyone have POA? That person needs to talk to the DON and find out why he has not been discharged. Every day now is costing him money.
