By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. 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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

You will manage to work things out, but her income will likely all go to the nursing home save that small allowed allowance.
Wishing you the best of luck. A lot of this just isn't DIY these days.
FYI I live in the Twin Cities metro area so feel free to PM me directly with questions.
Medicaid Application Documents Checklist (medicaidlongtermcare.org).
You can start by researching online, I posted a link above.
Here is a link to an Oregon lawyers website that explains how this works in Oregon.

Medicaid requires an elder to be at need both physically and financially to qualify for LTC and each state has slightly different requirements.
Where is your mom living now? It is almost always easier to transfer to a facility from a hospital or rehab. Does she have family in Oregon? This won’t be an easy trip for anyone that would be physically eligible for skilled nursing care. Does she have a Power of Attorney?

You will notice on this Minnesota link that the limit is Even lower.
Give a few more details about the situation to get the best advice. Since the rules are different, you might find one state easier than the other to get her placed. Check it out before moving her.
Also, in most states Medicaid doesn’t cover ALF. What are your mom’s issues? How old is she? She will need to be over 65, a resident off the state, a US citizen and in need of skilled nursing.
This forum will help guide you if you will give plenty of info to make moms situation easier to understand.
