Jewl,

I would recommend (as someone working in the industry), that people also contact their local Aging & Disability Resource center, or, if you're over 60, you're AAA (Area Agency on Aging). Both have tons of resources, specialists, and now, a specific program to help people transition out of nursing homes.

For Medicaid/Medicare questions, also see your SHIP--they have a lot of Medicare training!! Feel free to ask me--I do this all day, so it's not a problem!
