Yes many states have long waiting lists for long-term Medicaid.  In the person’s resources and supports are limited, it may be necessary to stay where one has the funding stream for care.  The most direct path woukd be to contact the local Department of Sociial Services where the person wants to live to see what the waiting list is.  I am not sure how difficult it is to transfer with Medicaid funding.  Medicare and Tricare cover the entire country.  The local DSS is the point of entry to apply for long-term care.

Beyond that, someone needs to help the person understand what kinds of places will accept one with only Medicaid.  It is sad, but true that most nursing homes want accept one as private pay first for a couple of years and then give them priority for an open bed,  WE know quite well the Medicaid Waiver long waitin list in VA fo a daughter with a developmental disability.  It is not a friendly state for funding of any adult services.  I would give nothing as the person may end up with nothing.  Their situation currently is not one of need really, but of choice and this is a rarity in seeking services today.[/quote]
