All nursing homes will seek to place her in assisted living which is maybe about $3000+ a month before nursing homes which are in high demand and are expensive for the County.

Hospitals will only keep them so long and then they send them to Nursing Homes. NH will only keep them so long and then they are sent to Assisted living.

Medicaid doesnt want to pay anything they dont have to.

They seldom start with a nursing home, usually assisted living first. Which is usually a very nice deal for the person. You the POA can choose which assisted living to put her in and in what town/city. They are kept in asst living for as long as poss. Usually then eventually they end up in a NH where many dont go more than a year. Some do tho.

Anyhow best wishes. Hope I could help.
