could you explain this further? A person providing services may not transfer or discharge an elderly...?

Question

A person providing services may not transfer or discharge an elderly individual unless:

1. the elderly individual’s health is improved sufficiently so that services are no longer needed;


2. the person providing services ceases to operate or to participate in the program that reimburses the person providing services for the elderly individual’s treatment or care; or

Please help me explain number 1 and number 2!

Answer 1

The elderly can't be cut off from service or given to someone else's care unless he's so much betterm he doesn't need service anymore. Or the company cancels with the elder's insurance or closes the nursing home.

Answer 2

This sounds like it comes in the context of medical requirements? What it's saying is that if you are responsible for caring for an elderly person, you can't stop doing so (discharge) or pass it off to someone else (transfer) unless the elderly person no longer needs your care, or you're no longer in business providing care, or you're no longer part of the program that pays for that care. (For that last one, think of someone qualified to provide home care through Medicare, and you lose your Medicare qualification.)

Answer 3

Number one means that the caregiver cannot leave the person unless they have shown signs that they can take care of themselves.

Number two means that the caregiver may leave if not paid or if the insurance company that they work for no longer accepts the elderly's claim.

Does this help?
