Can I transfer my uncle from a nursing home in one state to a hospital in another?

Pending long term care bed? I have been looking for a Medicare and Medicaid bed for my uncle in South Carolina who needs long term care, but have been unsuccessful. I running out of time before I need to move him from Texas and I'm getting desperate. Can I put him in a hospital until a bed becomes available?

Medicaid is a state run program...has he qualified for Medicaid in South Carolina? If he has Texas medicaid that doesn't mean he will qualify for SC Medicaid. Has he applied for SC Medicaid?

Medicare is a federal program but it does not pay for long term care.
