I need to place my mom in assisted living. In AZ, do I find a place first or apply for Medicaid first? Where do I start?

rosiebella, few of us know where to start. One thing about Medicaid is they usually don't pay toward assisted living, though they will help with nursing home care. Does your mother qualify for nursing home placement? You may find it helpful to contact your local Agency of Aging to get information about what to do.
