By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Trevor - I would ask the SNF about Medicaid rules as they are very familiar with this and they don't want to lose her insurance either! Each nursing home is required to provide residents with information about their bed-hold policy before the resident leaves the facility (for hospitalizations as an example). Every state is different - some have 30 days and some have 10.
Keep in mind if a Medicaid recipient is absent longer than the nursing home's policy allows, federal law requires the nursing home to readmit the recipient to the first available room. If she has dementia, this could be very disorienting and traumatic of her.
Good luck!
Mom was still ambulatory at the time, which was great as any equipment she used at the NH could not be taken out of the NH. I had moms old Hugo wheeled walker & portable bath seat & TENA style briefs that we had as well. Plus ground floor handicapped access hotel room. She was good but we kept her on the same schedule for medications (be sure you get these from the nursing station), meals & bedtime (left reception earlier) for the weekend. And she was never alone at all as you could tell it was confusing especially in getting in & out of cars. Mom had lewy body dementia so she still knew people & had a sense of time & that made it easier. If she had Alz & really didn't recognize folks, would be very dicey.
On the medications, you need to have a DPOA & MPOA to get their meds. If they are taking any schedule 1or 2 drugs, could be a problem in allowing those out.
