She's never going to be released, TBH. She's 85 with Epilepsy, the beginnings of dementia and a disintegrated hip she can't have replaced because she wouldn't survive the surgery. It kills me to say it, but it's the truth.

I’m very sorry
IIRC
The elder law lawyer can look at finances & do the calculations to see if Medicare will cover anything
My Grandpa had money so he was 5 years out after the trusts were done before Medicare would cover anything
My mom had to keep his checking account below 2000.00 so when his social security was deposited she would have to write check to nursing home so it would be cleared before the 30th which was when they look at balances
He passed before the 5 years was up but with everything being in trusts we didn’t have to go through probate
I am not sure if this is an option but I’d ask the lawyer about a medical divorce as an option, I’m not sure if it would make a difference in this situation or not or even if it’s something they would be willing to do
Good Luck
