Find Care & Housing
My understanding is Medicare funds a 5 or 7 day respite stay each year. Can Mom's PCP or the local Area Agency on Aging (AAA) SWs help you find a respite placement accepting Medicare?

Do you already know where you are moving to in FL? Have you considered getting Mom a FL LTC placement now and moving her into LTC prior to your move? My understanding is you may need to fund LTC for one month to establish your mother's FL residency, then she could apply for Medicaid. Contact the county AAA or Medicaid office where you plan to reside in FL.

Medicare only pays for respite care when Hospice is involved.
