FL Nursing Home Takes Stroke Victim to Homeless Shelter

A Boynton Beach, Florida, nursing home allegedly attempted to drop a stroke victim off at a local homeless shelter on Thursday night, after her insurance had run out. According to shelter officials, ManorCare employees tried to leave 55-year-old Thai Hodges at the shelter. Hodges, a former surgeon who suffered a stroke in July, is a ManorCare resident. The shelter, which has no medical staff or equipment, refused to accept Hodges because employees could see that she required medical care. The nursing home is now attempting to work with the family to find a new home that is equipped to provide the care Thai Hodges needs.
