Dad is in a memory care center and it's been advised to move him to a Medicaid-approved skilled nursing facility. Will it be a red flag to the prospective Medicaid-approved facility if I admit dad will be needing Medicaid in the future? I'm not sure how much I should or shouldn't say. It's 100% for financial reasons, but I don't want to tell the memory care center that I'm looking to move him. I called one place today and they told me to have the case manager at his current memory care place help us.
Do you mean Medicaid-approved or do you mean the facility accepts Medicaid? Some places will accept Medicaid after a period of private pay, varying from a few months to several years.
