I loathed CL with a fiery passion during training, but state regulations make it uniquely terrible here. In our state anyone who has any kind of psych history has to receive a full psychiatric evaluation before they can be placed in any kind of SNF by law. So if Grandma saw a therapist in 1984 after her first divorce, she can't go to her placement until she gets a full psychiatric assessment. You say she has literally never complained about any kind of mental health difficulty this century? Too d**n bad, she sees psychiatry before she goes to the home.
The law was meant to prevent warehousing of people with mental illnesses, which was a noble goal, but also constitute a plurality of all inpatient C\L consults for obvious reasons.
