I am currently in the transition of taking my grandmother out of a nursing home so she can live with me in Florida. I have Medical for her. When it comes to financial, they are responsible for her financial and insurance access. I called them and they’re not willing to help me on this matter. I was told by Medicaid that I can’t make phone call to transfer it because I have no power of attorney. I don’t know what to do.
Who put her INTO care? That is the person responsible.
I am afraid there is a lot here that you don't understand. If your grandmother is in LTC (long term care facility) then she was put there by someone responsible for her. That clearly is not you.
If you withdraw your grandmother from care and move her to another state then you are ALSO withdrawing her from Medicaid if she receives it. She will still get her federal medicare, but not the funds to pay for her in facility care.
Igloo, on this Forum, is very informed at the the problems involved in moving a relative to another state. Medicaid is administered differently in every state. Your grandmother would have to give up Medicaid in her own state, get residency and apply in FL. From what you indicate she isn't capable of that and you are not LEGALLY allowed to do that.
It is not the job of nursing homes to call Medicaid and to transfer patients to other states. If grandmother is withdrawn from care then their job is to aid in discharge, and I do not believe in present circumstances that they will discharge her to you.
Who IS POA, guardian, conservator or next of kin here?
Do you send a check for Moms SS to the NH or are they Moms payee? If Mom is competent to assign u Financial POA, I would get it done. How did you get Mom placed without it?
Sorry, this transition is all on you.
