What is a Bed Blocker?

0

” A bed blocker is primarily UK, Australian and Canadian slang for a person who is ill, requiring more care than can be given in a home setting, and possibly needing long term nursing home care. According to some definitions, the bed blocker literally takes up room on purpose because the person does not wish to be sent to a nursing home. In other cases, no nursing home can take the person at present, so they are blocking up the bed for someone who requires it for more immediate or emergency care. .
