I am going to be placing my sister in her seventies who has been in a wheelchair for several for years and has a lot of severe mental and general aging health issues, and needs help with everything. What kind of facility should I be searching for?

I would say Skilled Nursing, Nursing Home, Long term care which ever term your area calls it. I don't think an Assisted Living can care for a person with all of ur Sisters problems. I like the idea of placing her where you Mom lives. If sister is 24/7 care, than she probably fits the criteria for a LTC facility.

I notice on your bio that your mom is in a NH. Have you considered placing your sister in the same home? It would make life easier for you I would think. Are they in different communities?

If sister will be needing Medicaid to pay for her care then she would need to qualify medically and financially.

A needs analysis can be done to determine the proper level of care.

Are you your sisters DPOA or guardian? Are you her current caregiver?

If sisters affairs are complicated, it might be worthwhile to visit a certified elder attorney to assist you in this process.
