Can nursing home force you to stay?
Well a nursing home in general houses the elderly, again, generally speaking, so the family should pay for the accommodation. As in the son of an old man with chronic diseases where the son pays for his old fathers accommodation in the nursing home and as long as they are getting paid i guess it would be the sons choice wheather to keep his father in or not and so the father would have no say in the issue ... I guess that's how it is ... *** Hope I helped XD
