How to assure nursing home transfer
I am the 24/7 caregiver for my wife 78 years old. I am 80 years old. Have completed all Health Care POA's Estate Plans, Funeral arrangements, Trusts, Guardian for my wife if I die first. She presently has Orthostatic Hypotension, since 2014 and Lewy body since 2016.
If I should die first we have a guardian in place and to assist in moving her into a nursing home. However, we now live in Ohio and the nursing home would be in NY state probably within 50 miles of Rochester. If I die while both living in our apartment in Akron Ohio and wife is not at that time in a nursing home what procedures need to be in place for the transfer to a nursing home in NY.?
