Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect?
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is an all-too-common occurrence. By recognizing the signs of abuse and neglect, however, you can help protect your loved ones from harm. Common signs of neglect in nursing homes include bed sores, which can range from mild to life-threatening. Bed sores, along with dehydration and malnutrition, can indicate a nursing home resident is not being properly cared for. Abuse can be physical as well as emotional, and can cause lasting trauma.

Can a medicaid patient living in a nursing home be charged a bed hold fee at the nursing home during a hospital stay?
No They Can't. The only way that they can be charged is if they are stupid enough to believe something like this. Alot of people will just pay it anyway because they don't want to cause an argument or be embaressed by causing a fuss about it. --I work in a nursing home & do the billing. The bed hold fee can be charged to the resident/family. The fee is there is ensure that the bed is still there...in other words, that residents items/clothes etc, are not moved from their room. Normally, if the bed hold is not paid, or the family does not want it, the items in that room will be packed up in a certain # of days and ready for the family to come and get. Each nursing home will or should hv some type of policy about this. (R) I work in a nursing home as well. Medicaid will cover a bed hold for up to 14 days per year. Anything over 14 days will be private pay and will be billed to the resident or the POA whichever is appropriate.

In NY state can a child be responsible for a bed hold for a deceased parents room at a nursing home while they were in the hospital?
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.
