It depends. If the patient was on Medicaid and had been in the facility at least 30 days, the facility must "hold" the bed for at least 15 but not more than 20 days. The patient or POA is to be given a notice of same. If the nursing home vacancy rate was too high, or the patient had not been there at least 30 days, or had some insurance or payment agreement other than Medicaid, the nursing home is not obligated to hold the bed at all. They are then obligated to inform the patient/POA of the options. One is for the patient to pay the daily rate to hold the bed. There is no limit to the length of time as long as there is payment. One is to give up the bed. Then there is no obligation to take the patient back at all. If there was an agreement to hold the bed, and the patient does not return for whatever reason (dies, too ill, gets better) the patient's monies are to be used to honor that contract to hold the bed. The children are not responsible, but the estate of the patient is responsible.
