My mother in-law, Margie, has Alzheimer's disease, and my wife and wife's sister are trying to get her into a nursing home in Indiana,
but are being told that she cannot go in unless she has physical disabilities, which she mostly does not. The biggest problem
with taking care of her (being done by my wife's sister's family) is that she is constantly roaming around at night, making it
very difficult for anyone in the household to sleep. Medication is only helping out in a limited way.

We believe Margie is an extreme flight risk, and she has gotten away from three of my wife's other sibling's families,
at various times, including getting lost in the woods for over an hour.

Margie is on Medicare, and will apparently need to be on Medicaid after being admitted, but we can't get her admitted, due
to the fact that she does not have physical disabilities as mentioned above.

She also has a very limited, fixed pension, partly from her late husband's company.

Can anyone who has been through this situation please offer any advice on how we can get Margie admitted to a nursing home?

Thanks.
