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.

Question by Julie D.: How is a person who needs a service dog able to train it themselves?
I’ve seen people post this all the time on this site, but I don’t understand it. I thought that a service dog was for people who were handicapped in some way whereas a service dog would provide a REAL service to them, such as a leader dog for a blind person. Also, from my understanding, an emotional support dog is NOT the same as a service dog, and therefore is not entitled to the same privileges. If this is true, then how can someone *train* their own dog, buy a service dog vest on Ebay, and get away with it, if that person does NOT have a physical handicap such as being blind, having MS, etc.? Are they just trying to screw the system because they want their pooch to be able to go everywhere with them? Do people actually get away with the legalities that are involved with this?
