Unfortunately, Texas now has a "futile care law" where a health care facility can deem that further care is "futile", at this point the family has ten days to find another facility to provide care or all care is discontinued.
And the hospital which is denying care often sabotages any chance of getting another facility to provide care.
I worked as a social worker at a nursing home and I was told by the director to really push for every resident to have a DNR order.
How sad! I’m glad both my parents didn’t live to see this! My mother would’ve been a candidate for the “futile care” law - we were lucky to have hospice care at home and a wonderful caregiver. It breaks my heart!
