[QUOTE="sam ilpa, post: 701433, member: 20954"] So my daughter had the hospice social worker (sw) call me to say she's not feeling well and doesn't have a safe place to be on the hospice pain medications. She wants to come home. I let the sw know that I couldn't allow her back in the house with-my minor kids. She said the only in-patient hospice in our area is a 2 week stay facility and not appropriate for her. The sw said that if we couldn't house her then she would find a place for her. She also mentioned a lock box for the medications which doesn't prevent my daughter from having someone drop off drugs to her. The sw also asked if I wanted her to speak to my 9 year old daughter about coping. I did feel defensive during the conversation. The sw wants me to give my daughter another opportunity. I told her that I didn't think I could risk another opportunity. I did look into guardianship. Texas has some specific laws about obtaining medical care (specifically mentioning inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care ) for a ward. I can contact Adult protective services too. I'm feeling some anxiety thinking of her on the streets and having a professional advocate for my daughter to come home. I need to collect my thoughts and remind myself of my responsibilities. I know this is not the worst heartbreak I'll feel [/QUOTE]
