Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
You need to provide us more information. What is / are the issues? Otherwise, call a moving company. If you mean physically moving your mother, you or another person may need to accompany her. We need specifics to understand your question / needs.
You pay for the move. if she is already placed in a bed under state Medicaid, it may be impossible to find an open bed near you. Between states is harder because she will have to enroll and dis enroll and timing is the big question with a gap in care. iAgain you or she pays for the move if it can happen.
Try contacting your local library for resources and local department of aging for possible information or advice, you can also contact realtors in your area about accessibility housing options.
Really the only way is to prepare the place for her arrival, then go or fly to wherever she is and start the process of packing up.
In advance:
You can hire an estate sale company to dispose of the contents if they are valuable or usable, otherwise give or throw them away. You can hire an agent to sell the house once it is empty, as is.
On arrival:
Pack Mom's clothes and toiletries or whatever she needs, load her up in the car or on the plane and take her to prepared location.
As long as she is cooperative, and I know that's a stretch, easy peasy.
