I think the role of the discharge planner is to free up that bed and keep costs down. My FIL and mother have both (on numerous instances) been discharged before they were able to care for themselves. In my FIL case it actually led to a heart attack.
Covid does not help these issues.
Keep in mind discharge planners are not your friend.
In my FIL instance we were told we could dispute the discharge with the insurance but he would be responsible for all charges if he lost dispute.
Also if your mom is not cooperating and asks to leave the hospital they won’t keep her.
good luck. These are difficult circumstances. I’ll keep you in mind.
My sister spoke to mom today. She is delusional.
Had anyone in the family talked to the Psych doctor who presumably has charge of mom's case and should have an idea of what the time frame is for treatment amd where she could be safely placed next?
I wouldn't bother talking to SW except to continue the mantra of "no one at home to care for her, no we won't pick her up, if you send her home in a cab, I'll call AND the press (and my lawyer)" and things of the nature.
