[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 686984, member: 19617"] I am just curious why he had to be released back to you? Were you legally obligated to take him? Isn’t he already a legal adult? I was just trying to understand, thinking about my own situation because I work daily full time, and I would not be able to stay home with an invalid / disabled patient (even my adult child) if sent to my home, and I would not be comfortable leaving them alone. I believe I would have said “[I]it is not available for them to come here[/I]” and been like Walrus in refusing to take them if I could not handle it. Wouldn’t this also be the same situation with invalid ill parents also? You are not legally liable to accept them into your care, are you? I do understand from the love, caring, and goodness of heart, that many folks do this, as my sister did for my mom, but it is not a legal obligation, is it? I just want to clear up my confusion. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
