Our local hospital is new construction just two years ago (took 4 years to build) and I love how they have set up the emergency room area. Private examination rooms set up in a rectangle pattern with a door on one side that goes into the outside hallway and a door on the opposite side that goes into the pod where the doctors and nurses are located. Gives the patients privacy, ability to have visitors without infringing on the privacy of others. Also, all the rooms in the hospital are single/private rooms so all of that assists compliance with HIPAA laws. Always thought it was "funny" how they were so strict with following HIPAA for some things (i'm clergy, hard to get names of parishioners in the hospital) yet would have rooms where other can hear everything that is going on behind the curtain in the room. We have two brand new "super-hospitals", and they also have nothing but private rooms. This led to a huge drop in iatrogenic infections. That is great. Another improvement they are doing this year: all visitors that will go to multiple rooms must provide documentation that they have received the flu shot. I always do anyway and am very diligent about disinfecting when leaving a room and before going into another room.

Doesn't she have renter's rights? I don't think you can just be kicked out with no notice, even if you don't have a lease.

Every hospital I have encountered here in the last 10 years has been or is in the process of converting to all private rooms for that very reason with similar results. Even the smallish community hospital that served the town where my parents' retirement community was located converted to private rooms. As a patient, I appreciated not having to share a room with another cranky sick person. I'm sure that contributed to my recovery in some way as well.

Our small rural hospital that was built maybe 20 years ago, has private rooms in the ER and doors that close too. They do have 4 beds right in front of the doctor and nurses station, I think for very serious patients that need constant observation. It's really very nice and I hope they can keep a hospital here. They contract with the city nearby for ER docs and we have some really good ones. However, at night no onsite doc to read exrays, MRI's, etc. They have an onsite minor care facility, though its NP and I have been there twice and don't care for it. Also we have a Pain Management doc that comes in and 2 heart specialists, plus other specialty doctors. A lung specialist with black lung here, that's good. My doc doesn't admit here but I still do a lot of tests and blood work here. their patient portal is excellent, can go in and see everything, all detail. So I can print it out and take it with me if needed. But do have a lab 24/7. And their onsite cafeteria is really good, I sometimes go there to eat. For a county of 12000 its a pretty awesome little hospital, rehab, therapy. We also have a fitness center next door, has baby sitting included and family membership is only $60 a month. You can work with trainers or join classes for additional fees. And they just added a dialysis center, so folks didn't have to go really long distances. We also have a heliport as more serious cases are flown to Indianapolis, by ambulance to the city 35 miles away which is now designated a trauma center. I want to say class 1 but not sure.
And yes our hospital rooms here are very nice sized and they are also private. They may have a ward but don't know.

Costing $360 a day for sitters. I can't do it day after day and hubs can't either. He is stretching himself thin now. But the one lady they have known for a long time, said she has a lot of people we can tap into if we need more help. One of my renters is thrilled, she is working from 7 to 4 and is so happy to make extra money, said she will do it long as she is needed. So they are helping us and we are helping some folks too. I was thinking maybe MIL would be ok there. I guess today she threw a fit when the next sitter came in. I guess a screaming fit, so no she is not going to be able to function there. Still I do feel sorry for her, I told hubs when she is moved away from familiar surroundings, the loss of her sister she is not going to function at all. She will not make friends nor go to activities so isolates herself. We are getting reports about her sister and I guess she is doing well. Honestly I expected it, I think that she would not do a lot of things she wanted because MIL would not do it so would just sit there with her. So she would stay with her rather than socialize, she may very well flourish where she went. It will help one and hurt the other.
I blanched and peeled 2 1/2 gallons of tomatoes, put in freezer to add to the ones I'm making juice with next week. I watered the tomatoes today, may pull up a couple of plants. They have lots of green, lots of blossoms but not many tomatoes. The majority are coming off 4 big plants. Not sure when we will get a freeze, its October, so that will be the end, thank goodness! I decided to do nothing with the eggplants, just cook a couple. I don't think they will freeze that great and no more then we eat them will just buy one. Think I will pull both of them too and the okra plant. I'm tired of messing with them. Have some nice bell peppers still, love the little purple ones.

I might be wrong, but I kind of read it not as being evicted, but as being kicked out for the night. When the police say "leave or go to jail" it typically seems to mean "you did something illegal, but not seriously enough that we have to arrest you. we'll give you the lesser option of simply leaving right now". I know the OP says it might have been the police or the roommate...but it wouldn't make a ton of sense if the roommate threatened jail if the police were right there...the police would have easily said "no, that's not true, she lives here and can stay here"...particularly when it then turns into an unnecessary ambulance call.

Remember you are dealing with very elderly, things go awry with them. If people have been living in a place for a long time even without a lease I was told its the same as if they had a lease. It was likely illegal but not knowing the situation perhaps she was afraid and left.

If someone says leave, you think they have the right to say that.

I don't have time to fix it, tonight reunion meet up. this morning MIL for xray, run to city to get my repaired glasses, come home, bake a cake. Maybe press clothes for tonight. And my thighs and legs are killing me. I'm done with canning this year except for son tomato juice next week. I'm either cutting the stuff down or letting hubs do it. Get key for center so tomorrow can decorate. I'm not helping with that, others are doing it. Bake a second cake. Maybe take a nap in there somewhere.

You are right. I think the police said it. I don't why, though. The police said the roomie was crazy, remember. I am guessing there wasn't a legal agreement. Most people aren't concerned about that. If someone says leave, you think they have the right to say that. There doesn't REALLY have to be a legal agreement. If you say "I live here"...the police aren't going to make you leave in most cases. I would guess that it looks something like this (again, just a guess). Roommate is crazy, but being crazy isn't illegal. So roommate is crazy, the lady we're discussing reacts to that crazy by doing something illegal...police say "leave or go to jail". It's very possible roommate was acting nutty, even to the point of getting in this lady's face and being super weird. And as much as the lady might say "I pushed her because I was scared of her crazy"...the police are going to act on the fact of physical contact, not "i was scared because she's weird". I imagine their primary concern in that kind of situation is separating the individuals...and given removing the owner of the house or the renter who put their hands on that person...the renter is going to get the boot every time. Having a lease, or a legal agreement, or whatever...is irrelevant if the woman touched the crazy one. I'm envisioning a situation where the police aren't really making anyone leave. They're offering "you can just leave" as an alternative to "we should actually arrest you, but we will be nice and give you the option to leave because this is minor". That's why I'm assuming renter's rights, and legal agreements to live there don't really matter. They probably aren't making her leave (and to the point of "the roommate is crazy"...that would seem to solidify in my mind that's what's happening...I don't think the police would call her crazy if the situation was that someone who didn't belong in the house was being told to leave...that's more of a "You're totally sane, that person SHOULD get out, they have no reason to even be there"). "Crazy" strikes me as "yeah, I understand your side, she's crazy, maybe stay away, but you actually broke the law".

Have you been seen by an orthopedic looking for AVN? Avascular Necrosis is relative rare, can only be diagnosed by MRI, except in the later stages and you really need to find a good orthopedic doc who understands it. It is also correlated with frequent use of prednisone.

When police are called to a case that can be considered a domestic dispute, one person has to/supposed to be taken by the police (typically arrested but not always). This reduces the chance of flare up when the police leave, which is the most common reason for domestic killings. So, while the woman may not have been the issue, she was the one the police could best remove for safety reasons. Hospitals get a lot of that. My DD1 used to work in ER. She said it was sad but necessary.
