In some parts of the U.S., the desperate need to slow the spread of the coronavirus is coming into conflict with the scramble to find more hospital beds.
Nursing homes have been the sites of some of the earliest — and deadliest — outbreaks of COVID-19. Some people who run such facilities are understandably leery of accepting new patients who might spread the virus.
Nonetheless, some of the largest states are now ordering nursing homes to accept patients who have been discharged from the hospital but are still recovering from COVID-19.

ReplyDeleteIt depends. If you own your nursing home and operate independently then you can accept who you want and reject who you want.
The minute you accept any government dollars, whether from county, state or federal sources, then you must do what they tell you.
With all the hospital beds supposedly available, why not keep them in the hospital?
