Why is this your problem??

Psychiatric hospitals are notoriously hard to get a bed in. I hope someone has experience with this sort of thing.

If she is in a skilled nursing facility for rehab she technically is a patient for care as far as insurance is concerned. I’m assuming She was discharged from a hospitalization to a SNF for rehab most likely so it’s a continuation of her patient care status.

who is telling you she needs to be transferred to a psych hospital? That’s pretty serious for anyone to say to a family member? Are you her POA on file? Whatever the case, the SNF needs to find her a psych facility as in a SNF that has a speciality unit or a long term residential psychiatric facility if in fact she is evaluated to need that. You cannot & should not be the one to transfer or place her as you cannot determine her care needs. That’s on them and other medical professionals.
