Grandma is in a skilled nursing facility, in the short term area after a hospital stay. She now needs long term, but where she is has a very long waiting list (she is #300+). We really like where she is and would love to keep her there!! I know they can't kick her out, but how long can we realistically hold her there, and hope for a long term bed?? She would've been discharged about 1.5 months ago, so we have already refused to take her out for that long.

But, even long term rehab has limits. Medicare limits at 100 days or sooner if the patient fails to continue to improve.
If she is too frail to be home, and not able to recover...she should be in a NH as a permanent resident. Not a rehab facility. If she can afford self pay, then you will have more options.
