My mother is in a nursing home in Ohio and I would like her to be transferred to Florida. My sister lives in Ohio, but has a hard time visiting often. How do I go about starting the process? I can transport her myself. She has Huntington Chorea and is steadily declining. She would be in a nursing home here too, but would have more family members visiting. She is on Medicaid.
You will need to have your Mom qualify for Medicaid in Florida. Each State handles their own Medicaid funding, thus different rules and regulations. Have you checked out nursing homes in your area to see how often they have a Medicaid paid bed space?
It will be nice having more family who will visit.
As for traveling, hopefully others on the forum who have done this will chime in.
