83 year old Soon Ja Kim, an illegal immigrant from Korea, faced a long hospital stay and no discharge plan after her Dec 23 admission. With no Medicaid or funds, her family abandoned the plan to move her to a nursing home, and Abington struggled to arrange care while she deteriorated and waited for a safe discharge.
