Can a nursing home release a patient who was admitted by doctor's orders because she is demanding to go home?
No, they cannot, with the exception of the information contained in the expanded answer below.
Answer
If a person is incapable of caring for themselves and their property there is indeed a legal process by which they can be placed in a long term care facility even if they do not want to go. Many elders who are no longer capable of living independently do not want to be admitted to a residential care facility but they must be admitted for their own safety if the circumstances are serious enough. That process depends on a doctor's certification that the person is no longer capable of caring for themselves or independent living. A guardian would be appointed. Therefore, the answer to your question is yes, depending on the circumstances.
