    Hello,
    I see it happen a lot where they try to discharge somebody out even though they never gave the family a list of places to check out. I have been able to stall discharge until we looked at places as a client’s right issue to participate in their care planning and I have had luck. If that time has run out and those steps weren’t taken, they can transfer the person out to a SNF-however, I believe if there’s an appeal filed, they may have to hold them during that appeal? Insurance isn’t my strong suit so hopefully someone else will chime in. Also, having temporary conservatorship over a person if they meet all the criteria to be conserved, does not constitute them going on a person‘s insurance. They have to be a dependent or a spouse or meet other criteria to go on that person‘s insurance. The conservatorship does not guarantee that. I hope some of this helped and good luck to you in your client
