Any of u help take care of the elderly

I kind of got a question. My neighbor she fell down a few day's ago. Her husband called the ambulance and they took her to the hospital. I know she has some health problems. Her kidneys and heart are not doing to good at all. Also she doesn't get around good because of her hips and she can't get surgery to fix that. She really wants to go home.

I think they want her to go into a home close to her daughter. She does have home care for like 12 hours a week or something like that. I'm just kind of curious what is legal. Her nurse doesn't want her to go home. Because there isn't someone with her 24/7 what if something would happen with her. Would they just put her into a home against what she wants.

sounds like she needs specialized equipment and care to continue living. where i live we have several very pleasant places providing free hospice care. this might be a much better option than a nursing home
