Good morning. They are saying my mother, needs to move out of her room/home after five years of living in this space? This decision was made after they rented it out in Dec to an un-vetted roommate who moved out in January. Now they want to move my mom into a new room which we feel is not in her best interest as she is under hospice care and we would like her to be able to age in place. What rights do we have to keep her in the same room and have them move a better vetted roommate in with her. No written notice has been given only verbal. We have asked for them to explain in writing why they have come to this decision of moving mom.

I had to push back when my aunts NH wanted to move her to a different room. She is also on hospice. They didn’t move her in the end. They may have had a good reason but if they did it was one they weren’t willing to tell me. It wasn’t a pleasant conversation but they backed down. She had already been through some nonsense that we had gone along with. I think they knew if I had to move her it would be right out the door and she is very easy to care for plus has a hospice aide that comes daily.

My MIL is in LTC in a very good facility. She's on Medicaid so over the years has had different roommates and been moved to different rooms. As things at facilities change, this may also mean physical changes, improvements, repairs, maintenance. We were never given more than a phone call before they decided to move her. We didn't have a say unless they had other options for her.

You should have been here when the first round of covid hit that facility in 2020... they moved the residents around every week like a shell game -- because they had to.

When someone is on Medicaid, choices can be limited since most facilities have much fewer Medicaid beds. Verbal notice is ok. What difference would it make if it were in writing? What you can do is send an email to the admins re-stating what was said to you verbally (and by whom) and then pose the question, "Am I understanding this correctly? If not, please clarify." And then if they again respond verbally, keep doing the same thing via email. However, I'm not sure what this will gain you. Like I said if she's on Medicaid options for rooms and roommates are limited.

Check the lease you signed to see what it says about moving residents out of a room .

Since your mother isn’t in a private room ,
could it be possible that they have a married couple coming in ? Perhaps they are wanting to move your mother in with another resident to free up the room for a couple to be together . Or it’s also possible they need a room for a male coming in .

I’m interested in knowing the reason they tell you .
