What is the name of your state? I am in GA
My mother (who resides in IL) is moving my grandmother from a nursing home in Ohio (where she is on Medicaid and has been for several years) to a nursing home in Illinois where she can better care for her (Alzheimers). My mother is physically unable to care for her at home. My grandmother, who is in her mid 90's and is wheelchair-bound, must be physically located in Illinois before they can re-apply for Medicaid in Illinois. In the unlikely case that she is not approved for Medicaid in Illinois, I was told that Medicare will cover the Illinois nursing home costs incurred while awaiting Medicaid approval. Does anyone know?
