My mom currently lives with me in Texas. She has Alzheimer's and needs long-term facility care. She wants to return to North Dakota. If we plan to move her into a facility in ND, do I apply for Medicaid in TX or ND

Establish North Dakota residency (for the app you will need to supply the ND facility address, intent to remain, transfer of records from TX, etc.)

Medicaid is a state run program. You apply in the state that you will be placing her into a facility for care. You might consider finding an attorney familiar with ND Medicaid rules since each state is run differently. She will need to prove residency. There may not be an available bed where you and she want to go. If there is no one local to visit and manage care, don’t count on friends or family for visits. And moving her to another state with all new doctors will be a challenge too.
