A place for long-term care information, support, and solutions from the perspective of those who have been there.
On the agenda:
By April 1, 2012, every person in Maryland entering or living in a nursing home, assisted living facility, hospital, hospice, kidney dialysis unit, or hiring in-home care services is required to have one of these Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) forms filled out and signed by a physician or nurse practitioner. A copy is to be given to the patient within 48 hours.
