Questions families ask

Which hospitals in the Fort Worth area handle senior discharge planning?

Texas Health Resources (Texas Health Harris Methodist Fort Worth and Southwest Fort Worth), JPS Health Network's John Peter Smith Hospital, Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center - Fort Worth, and Medical City/HCA facilities serving Arlington all maintain case management and discharge planning teams.

Can I push back on a hospital discharge date in Fort Worth?

Yes. A discharge date is a clinical recommendation, not an immovable deadline, and hospitals are required to have a discharge planning process you can engage with -- especially when no safe post-discharge arrangement is actually in place yet.

Does Medicare cover a rehab stay after a Fort Worth hospital admission?

Medicare covers a limited skilled nursing facility stay after a qualifying inpatient hospital admission, when daily skilled care is medically necessary. It does not cover long-term custodial nursing care, and observation-status stays don't qualify at all.
