Adams, who works there as a psychologist, pointed to the curb near the front entrance. It's where taxis regularly drop off homeless patients who have just been discharged from the hospital. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally speaking the driver is kind enough to assist some of these women in exiting the vehicle and grabbing some of their belongings,\" Adams said. \"The patient or client enters in through our door sometimes bewildered and confused as to why they’re here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of the women are elderly. Some have never been to A Woman's Place before the taxi drops them off, while others are regulars. Whatever the case, the center just isn’t prepared to take in medically fragile patients straight from the hospital, according to Adams. It’s not a clinic, and it’s not even a shelter. Women and families can stop in to take showers, do laundry or get counseling. There aren’t any beds, just a television set and lots of chairs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A bill\u003c/a> under consideration in Sacramento aims to address this practice, which some advocates call \"patient dumping.\" They say hospitals commonly discharge homeless patients by sending them to social service agencies or other nonprofits, and they do this without contacting those locations first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adams said this “dumping” happens at least once a week at A Woman's Place. One of the cases that haunts her involves an elderly woman who has a serious mental illness. Recently, the client had deteriorated so much that she couldn’t use the toilet alone. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She wasn’t leaving the building under her own accord,\" Adams said. \"She wasn’t accessing food or water without the assistance of other people. She tried to pay me a dollar the other day to go buy her some ramen so that she could eat.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adams sent the woman to the hospital, hoping psychiatric services would help. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, less than 24 hours later, she returned here,\" Adams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The same client was resting at the center on the day a KQED reporter visited, sitting in a black chair that she favors. Adams said the woman’s mental illness still wasn't well-controlled, so she couldn't speak coherently or consent to an interview. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In an ideal world, she would be transferred to a 'board and care' or an assisted living facility, where they could manage her mental health as well as her medical health in a fashion that we simply don’t have the infrastructure for,\" Adams said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The legislation moving through the state Senate would require that patients be discharged to one of four \"safe and appropriate\" locations: their primary dwelling (as identified by the homeless patient), another health center or hospital, a nonprofit or social service agency that has given written consent to accept the patient, or an alternative spot that the patient has consented to go to, in writing. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://sd22.senate.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sen. Ed Hernandez\u003c/a>, D-West Covina, introduced the bill. He said hospitals, as part of society, have obligations to homeless Californians. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they fall down and have a heart attack, and somebody sends them to the hospital, we’re required by law -- which is the humane thing to do -- to treat those individuals,\" said Hernandez, who is an optometrist and chair of the Senate Health Committee. He was referring to a federal law called \u003ca href=\"https://www.acep.org/news-media-top-banner/emtala/#sm.000005tj0xf3geeirxddg2ghqr9qa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EMTALA\u003c/a>, which mandates that emergency rooms accept and treat everyone, regardless of ability to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But EMTALA doesn't address how patients are discharged from ERs. \"Once they’re treated, the humane thing is to figure out where we’re going to place them, as opposed to just leaving them out in the street immediately,\" Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His bill would require some additional work on the part of ER staffers at California hospitals, such as getting consent from a shelter where the hospital wants to send the patient. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t imagine that it’s going to be that costly to pick up the phone,\" Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The legislation also lays out a checklist of things to do before discharge.

Some have never been to A Woman's Place before the taxi drops them off, while others are regulars. Whatever the case, the center just isn’t prepared to take in medically fragile patients straight from the hospital, according to Adams. It’s not a clinic, and it’s not even a shelter.

It’s run by Bay Area Community Services through the downtown Henry Robinson facility and had more than an 80 percent success rate at finding housing solutions for those it served last year. In many cases, people didn’t have housing vouchers or program subsidies to help them pay rent, said Daniel Cooperman, program director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s about finding unique solutions,” he said. “A lot of it is a single room in a single-family residence, or matching people up with roommates,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooperman said if BACS was able to operate a second Henry Robinson facility he’s confident the program would be just as successful.
