Do these problems sound familiar?
1. “Medicaid does not pay for the service that you want.”
2. “The nursing staff will determine the care that you receive.”
3. “We don’t have enough staff to accommodate individual schedules. You will be woken up every morning at six am.”
4. “We don’t have enough staff. You should hire your own private-duty aide.”
5. “If we don’t tie your father into his chair he may fall or wander away from the nursing home. There’s just no way we can always be watching him.”
6. “Your mother needs medication in order to make her more manageable.”
7. “We must insert a feeding tube into your father because he is taking too long to eat,”
8. “Your children can visit you only during visiting hours.”
9. “We can’t admit your mother unless you sign the admission agreement as a “Guarantor” or “Responsible Party.”
10. “Please sign this arbitration agreement. It’s no big deal. Arbitrations allow disputes to be resolved quickly.”
11. “Medicare can’t pay for your nursing home care because we have determined that you need custodial care only.”
12. “We can’t give you therapy services because your Medicare reimbursement has expired, and Medicaid doesn’t pay for therapy.”
13. “Even though you’re now financially eligible for Medicaid payment, we don’t have an available Medicaid bed for you.”
14. “We don’t have to readmit you from the hospital because your hold-hold period has expired.”
15. “You must pay any amount set by the nursing home for extra charges.”
16. “We have no available space in which residents or family member could meet.”
17. “You must leave the nursing home because you are a difficult resident.”
18. “You must leave the nursing home because you are refusing medical treatment.”

About Me
- Senior Life Care Planning
- Maryland, United States
- My life changed in the early to late 1990' My grandfather was living in Chevy Chase, Maryland. One night I received a call. I answered the phone, to hear that my grandfather, had fallen. Subsequently, he was taken to a nursing home. I was the attorney in the family, so everything was left to me. During this time, I had lots of questions: what options were available; what's a good nursing home, would he get good care; how are we going to pay for it? I tried to find answers to these questions. But I could only catch glimpses of the big picture. That research was my first act into the practice of elder law and life care planning. After granddad was in the nursing home. I researched this area and I started putting together what later turned out to be the beginning phases of my new life care planning practice and my calling.
