B5 – Top 10 things Skilled Nursing Facilities Don’t Want You To Know! Be The Best Advocate You Can Be

Discover the top ten things skilled nursing facilities don’t want you to know. People “voluntarily” accept the end of therapy and discharge from facilities because they don’t know their rights. “We are discharging your Dad tomorrow at 10:00”, or “Medicare will not pay for any more therapy”, or “We don’t have any custodial beds” are only a few of the statements that cause people to “voluntarily” stop therapy or accept discharge. Who knew they had options? But you will. Learn when and how to say No, how to assert your client’s rights under the law, and how to get them the care they need with the resources and benefits to pay for it. Your understanding of your client’s rights can radically change their health care outcomes. We will look at common scenarios, your options, and provide you with the underlying supporting legal authority and a method to effectively evoke your client’s rights in emergency discharge scenarios.
