This week I have a 67-year-old female that came to my facility, she had a stroke and unable to care for herself, she a two-person for transfers and unable to speak due to the stroke. She is alert x3 . she is her own responsible self. No POA or Guardian, she has one son and two sisters. The son is asking his mother to sign paperwork for him as a co/buyer for his house.
I explain that the patient is unable to sign the paperwork at this time the son stated he had a deadline to turn this paperwork in and he requested that his mother be discharged home with him he then calls the police and report that his mother is being held against her will. We had to let her go with him. the intervention that was put in place was to notify the state by hot-line the resident to the state the facility then put police in to prevent resident that unable to speak for themselves to have public guardant upon admission. She will be monitor
