Mum needs full time care now - feeling lost about what comes next

So the rehab facility just told us mum cant go back home and needs proper round the clock supervision. Bit of a shock really since we thought this was just a temporary thing after her fall but apparently not

Were going to be relying on Medicaid since theres no way we can afford private fees and she never got long term care insurance. Im trying to work out a few things like how hard it actually is to get into a decent place that takes Medicaid straight away rather than making you pay privately first. Also wondering about waiting lists since I keep hearing theyre mental long

The whole thing is doing my head in if im being honest. Shes still pretty sharp most of the time which makes it even worse somehow. Feel like im drowning in forms and phone calls and trying to visit different places while also just trying to be her son you know

Were in the Bristol Farmington area so if anyone knows places worth looking at or definitely ones to steer clear of that would be brilliant. Even just knowing what the process is like round here would help

For anyone whos done this before with Medicaid what would you tell someone starting out. What should I be watching for when I visit these places. How do you make sure theyre actually taking care of your parent properly once theyre in

Cheers for any help really. This whole situation feels massive and I have no clue what im doing
