It sounds as though your mom is in an adult care home that accepts Medicaid diversion funding. Does mom have a caseworker through Medicaid? That's the person you need to be talking to.

The person who runs the home, is she shutting it down or is she saying that your mother needs a higher level of care?

She (the owner) must have contacts with Kaiser or whomever is funding these patients and should be assisting you in finding another place for mom to live.
