She is 90 years old and she suffers from worsening Alzheimer's dementia with worsening behavioral symptoms and her Doctor considers that she requires full time nursing home. None of the nursing homes accepted my mother as a patient with temporary Acces card (Medicaid ). I am myself 70 years old and in crisis family situation and begging for help for my mother. Thank you
This is a very hot topic these days.....
You need to get your mother on as many waiting lists for Nursing Homes that accept Medicaid (not all do and they are not required to). YOu need to call them all and ask "do you accept Medicaid patients?" Do you accept patients who are "Medicaid pending?". Be sure that the person you talk to understands that you are NOT asking if there is a bed available at this time, that you need to put your mom on the waiting list.
The best route to NH admission is from a hospital. If your mother needs a hospitalization, she can be more easily admitted to a NH, Medicaid pending from a hospital setting.
Hoping that others will have answers for you as well.
