Brother is 58 years old. He’s in hospital due to a spinal abscess. He’s currently on antibiotics to treat it. He will need rehab as his hands and feet are weak due to the abscess pressing on his spine. The problems is he doesn’t a have wife or kids… no family members that can take him in. He doesn’t have insurance so rehab is only available for 2 weeks. After that they will have to discharge him but he doesn’t have a place to go to. What can they (hospital) or he can do?
As long as you both continuously use the words "unsafe discharge" the rehab center will then have to find placement for him in the appropriate facility and Medicaid will have to applied for.
