fwiw Very definite legal “90 Day Rule” exists in the US for most areas. It’s for indictments. Most jurisdictions allow 90 days held to be either: 1. indicted; 2. bail set & release on bail (may or may not be able to meet bail); or 3. charges dropped & released. aka 90 day homicide.
The only 90 day rule I have heard was concerning Medicaid. If LO goes into LTC paying privately at first, you need to apply to Medicaid 90 days before the money runs out. In that 90 days you must spend the person down and provide all info needed to complete the application. For my Mom, she had 20k. She was placed into LTC and paid May and June. This gave me time to apply and get Medicaid what they needed. In June Medicaid had all the info they needed and I proved Mom was paid down. Medicaid started July 1st.
When we talk about AL on this forum its a private pay facility. Usually, it does not take Medicaid, and if it does its limited to how many residents can be on it or you have to pay privately for at least 2 years before Medicaid will pay. Even then, they only have so many Medicaid beds. Same with Memory Care. Longterm facilties take Medicaid.
