Can a hospital hold you involuntarily if there are obvious signs that you use drugs even if it is not directly related to why you came to the hospital in the first place?
If the doctor feels that you are a threat to yourself or someone else, they can hold you involuntarily, regardless of whether or not you have drugs in your system. The length of the hold depends on the severity of your symptoms and how they classified the hold. But since you asked about drugs. Doctors and hospitals are not cops. They don't really care if you use drugs, other than how it affects your health, and they do not turn you in for using drugs. Most of the time when a person on drugs is held in the hospital against their will, it is because the drug has changed the mental status of the patient, and they will hold them just long enough for the patient to get back to baseline and then they will release them.
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.
