I have been trying for almost a year to get my Mom moved from upstate NY to KY. She is in a long term care facility. Every facility I have looked into has a waiting list but they state that they take in hospital patients as priority. Any one have luck in this type of situation or is it impossible?

We have seen people attempt it, but usually the frustration of the move prevents it, especially if any governmental funding is required. Your Mom will have much better luck if she is self paying; but once this is a case of Medicaid the rules one state to another make such a move very onerous. Because Medicaid was designed as a state/federal joint program the funding in her state if she is on it will stop and residency and re-application and qualifications will begin all over again.

I would speak with a Licensed Social Worker in private practice of an elder law attorney. Even physically such a move is often problematic. Don't know any of your details, and that's for you discuss with some expert guidance I think. I sure wish you good luck.
