I have been trying for almost a year to get my Mom moved from upstate NY to KY. She is in a long term care facility. Every facility I have looked into has a waiting list but they state that they take in hospital patients as priority. Any one have luck in this type of situation or is it impossible?
I would speak with a Licensed Social Worker in private practice of an elder law attorney. Even physically such a move is often problematic. Don't know any of your details, and that's for you discuss with some expert guidance I think. I sure wish you good luck.
Have you also done your research about medical transportation for your parent? It can be very expensive.
It helps that 3 major hospitals (Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth and University Hospital) are in the area.
Heck, any buildable land by the interstate, if one builds a health center the other 1 or 2 will follow suit (as an example)
Facilities make sure to have a location very close to these hospitals.
