Appealing a Discharge for Bobby

Meet Bobby, a man in his 30s living at a care facility. It’s an ideal location for Bobby – a wheelchair user with a developmental disability – because his family lives close by and can visit him often. Sometimes when he’s upset, Bobby acts aggressively because of his disability. That behavior caused the facility to issue an involuntary discharge notice requiring Bobby to move out. That’s when Bobby turned to PSLS for help appealing the discharge.

PSLS found that the facility had not been following Bobby’s care plan, which could have prevented those behavior-related incidents. PSLS supported Bobby and represented him at an administrative hearing where the involuntary discharge was denied. Thanks to the high-quality legal services provided by PSLS staff, Bobby still lives at the facility close to his family and is now receiving proper care under his care plan!
