My mother fell and broke her leg then while in rehab at nursing home, it was determined she needed ltc. She’s been at nursing home ever since. Nursing home says no Medicaid beds available. She has been approved for Medicaid. Can they force her out? What advice does anyone have should I just not agree? Want the best for mom… she like it there and it’s one of nicer nursing homes in my area.
Being on Medicaid means a shared room almost all the time.
If they are short on beds, you can maybe negotiate putting her in a private room and having her pay the difference until there's a bed available. We did this for my MIL when she went into a facility. But we were 3 sets of siblings/couples so we split it 3 ways and it was do-able for a limited time, plus it was not a very fancy/expensive facility but the admins and staff were great.
If she moves out of the facility she may need to go on a waiting list. Some areas of the county have more demand than others. Current residents get first dibs on Medicaid beds.
