If my BIL wasn't in a AL facility 4 hours away from home, I would visit him more and be more involved with his care plan.
I think this would make things better for BIL and everyone else involved with his care. What are your thoughts? How would you handle this?
If you had him you could have given notice and requested records. Then you could find a place that is closer to you or keep him in your home.
If you could take him once, why not go get him, demand his records and then you in complete control and can do whatever you want done.
Thank you for replying. I had no other choice but to take him back. My husband is not able to care for him due to his own health issues.
We have already been to every nursing facility closer to home and no one will accept him. We've even tried to explain that he has doctors closer to home that know how to treat him overnight (they are excellent team of doctors) but no one will listen.
I do not know how you could do that, but I have just heard of a snafu from someone who
1) does have POA for this loved one;
2) the care providers were difficult if not impossible to get on board or obtain a new doctor;
3) turns out the HMO does not "really" provide services in the area where person was moved to;
4) the ex-spouse was the primary insured, putting a kabash on treatment.
So, is it possible, that the insurance is messed up, and he cannot be moved closer to you?
Just a thought.
Thank you for your response.
Thanks for your response. I do not have to have POA.
