Hello,
I’m in Ohio and this is something I have dealt with often.
I would ask the hospital’s case manager and patient relations team for the proposed discharge destination and care plan, a list of SNF referrals and responses, and the process for challenging the discharge.
I would also ask the hospital’s financial counselor to confirm exactly what the current Medi-Cal coverage will pay for and what coverage, if any, could become effective through the family member’s plan. That may help identify why facilities are declining and what needs to happen next. If the conservatorship hearing has not been scheduled, I would document that as part of the planning barrier and request a care conference with case management, the treating team, and the family as soon as possible.
I hope this helps!
