Good morning. They are saying my mother, needs to move out of her room/home after five years of living in this space? This decision was made after they rented it out in Dec to an un-vetted roommate who moved out in January. Now they want to move my mom into a new room which we feel is not in her best interest as she is under hospice care and we would like her to be able to age in place. What rights do we have to keep her in the same room and have them move a better vetted roommate in with her. No written notice has been given only verbal. We have asked for them to explain in writing why they have come to this decision of moving mom.
Since your mother isn’t in a private room ,
could it be possible that they have a married couple coming in ? Perhaps they are wanting to move your mother in with another resident to free up the room for a couple to be together . Or it’s also possible they need a room for a male coming in .
I’m interested in knowing the reason they tell you .
You should have been here when the first round of covid hit that facility in 2020... they moved the residents around every week like a shell game -- because they had to.
When someone is on Medicaid, choices can be limited since most facilities have much fewer Medicaid beds. Verbal notice is ok. What difference would it make if it were in writing? What you can do is send an email to the admins re-stating what was said to you verbally (and by whom) and then pose the question, "Am I understanding this correctly? If not, please clarify." And then if they again respond verbally, keep doing the same thing via email. However, I'm not sure what this will gain you. Like I said if she's on Medicaid options for rooms and roommates are limited.
Our hearts go out to everyone dealing with these types of issues.
