[quote=Anonymous]unfortunately there is definitely a shortage of medicaid beds in skilled nursing facilities. I believe the "easiest" way to get a bed is to be admitted to the hospital. Older adults are admitted to the hospital all the time for falls and inability to care for self. He will have to be evaluated by a physical and occupational therapist - they are the ones that inform the medical team if this person is safe or physically to live on their own or with the care of others. If you tell them you cannot care for him and he demonstrates significant physical or cognitive needs, they will likely recommend SNF and the case manager of the hospital can look into placement. 99% of the time you need these therapy recommendations to be admitted because it justifies the skilled need for the facility, if they dont make progress with the PT and OT at the snf- they will likely be transitioned into long term care.
