They’d have to maybe pay $5-10k/mo. for her to be placed somewhere. The State can’t afford to just take in anyone’s non-NT child to adult. Unless I’m completely wrong & maybe they’re more lenient when it comes to children, but I’d think they’d have to give up their rights, which of course no one should do. (Of course there are those cases where a teen or young mother has a child & gives them up & then they go into care/foster & hopeful adoption process). I should google before guessing, but I’m going off our experience w/ my MIL who has severe schizophrenia.
Since A&P placed her on the waiver, they would have to just let the state know that she needs long term placement into a group home or facility. When you place your child on a Medicaid waiver, you waive 2 things, the parental income so that a child can get benefits without taking the parents income into account and the second, is that you are waiving placing the child into a full-time care facility because they do qualify for it (you have to go through lots of evaluations and interviews to be placed on a waitlist for the waiver)...Medicaid would look over her evaluations provided and give a level of care of need. They would then be provided with a list of facilities, that they could call to see if they have an open bed and to tour. They may have to even place her on a waitlist for a few months to years, for one that they like...
No, they would not have to pay to place her anywhere and no, they would not loose their rights but once she is placed, they would have to show reason to move her to another facility. Also, depending even on the facility, they could even sign her out for weekends or even weeks long over the summer..
