My mom is getting ready to go in assisted living on Medicaid. Just thinking ahead, what if she becomes ill and requires an extended hospital visit? Will Medicaid continue to pay for her room til she is able to return and if so, who then would be paying for her hospital stay and associated costs?
Just my opinion, I don't really see Medicaid paying for an extended stay in rehab and rent on a room at an AL.
When ur in rehab, Medicare pays 100% the first 20 days. 21 to 100-50%. Medicaid would pick up the other 50% in ur case. But, the question is, how long will Medicaid pay for that AL?

Don't make any assumptions or decisions based on "opinions" or guesses of others...call the Dept of Health and Human Services for the county where you mom lives and ask them what is and is not covered.
