 | He/she volunteers (chooses) to leave the care of the home. |
| The level of care or services needed by the resident are beyond the
capacity of the home to provide. |
| The resident's condition is such that he/she is a danger to
himself/herself or to others. |
| The resident is unable/unwilling to adjust to the facility. |
| After a Medicaid resident has been admitted to the hospital or leaves the
facility, their bed will be held for seven (7) days. After the seventh
day, the resident will be discharged. The discharge notice must be in
writing. If the responsible party notifies the facility that the
resident will not return the resident will be discharged from the facility. |
| When discharge is initiated by the home; the resident, or his/her
responsible party and the Union County Department of Social Services will be
provided a written notification giving reasons for discharge. When
discharge is initiated by the resident, a similar notice is to be provided
to the home Administrator by the resident. An exception to the above
would be in instances where a delay would jeopardize the health and safety
of the resident or others in the home. |
