Question by An old chinese man: Does anyone know how the Joint Commission defines a “self-care facility?”?
I work for a hospital at a self-care housing unit. We aren’t supposed to accept guests that are not able to care for themselves, but our hospital often discharges people to us who aren’t even ambulatory. We are forced to provide transportation to/from the hospital, which is only a stone’s throw away, and push them around in wheelchairs (our policy prohibits this.) Bonus for answers with links to a credible definition. I’ve been looking around but I haven’t had any success.
