What’s the best way to apply for Medicaid for my Mom? She needs to be in an AL or nursing home soon.

I believe you can apply for Medicaid online. You can also contact your county’s Health and Human Services Department. If you find a facility you like, ask if they will accept her “Medicaid Pending”. This is what my mother’s facility did and they even counseled me on what I needed to do to get her approved. Check with her doctor. She made need their approval to be accepted into a facility.
