So, my Rabbi calls me today. We have a congregant who lives alone, 80+, broke his hip a week ago. In rehab. I checked in with him remotely this week and he said he was staying in rehab.
Aapparently he got discharged yesterday. A friend drove him home and it turns out his apartment his hoarded up the wazoo. They couldn't get the wheelchair in.
The Rabbi arranged for a hotel room and an aide for 12 hours per day, but this man is bedbound. I dropped off his meds and some other essential stuff, but what to do?
At least on my view, he needs to remain in rehab until there is a careplan that works.
Can one appeal a Mediacre discharge from rehab and for how many day/hours? Does someone need POA to do that? He has no family. Will check in with him tomorrow about POA etc.
