Slow Down the Hospital Discharge Rush

All of sudden, the hospital says,
"Mom has to leave..."
What can you do if you need
​more time to plan?

Kaiser Health News recently published an excellent article on understanding the right to a Medicare "fast appeal", especially when faced with a discharge that seems too soon, sudden, or requires additional time to plan for the next move.
​
"Every older adult admitted to a hospital as an inpatient has the right to challenge a discharge if he or she feels unprepared to leave. But few people understand the process that’s involved.
​

"Frequently, seniors and their families are caught by surprise when a transfer from the hospital is at hand."  - KHN
