Can a Nursing Home Prevent You From Leaving? | What Leaving Against Medical Advice (AMA) Means

Can a nursing home prevent you or an elderly loved one from leaving if you want to return home? Threats about health insurance not paying or leaving against medical advice are common in some nursing homes. Patients have a right to make their own choices about care as long as they understand the concerns of nurses and physicians working in nursing homes. A nursing home cannot prevent a patient from leaving, although they can complicate the transition to home by delaying physicians orders for medications or physical therapy if recommended. While some nursing homes may have valid concerns about a patient leaving, others may be concerned about patients leaving without a solid plan to remain at home. Patients may be surprised that hospitals and nursing homes can be financially penalized for older adults with certain health conditions who return within 30 days of discharge. For this reason, many nursing homes want to ensure that if a patient leaves, they have a plan to care for themselves independently or with family caregivers.
