I would reach out to the local chapter of the Florida’s department of elder affairs and see if they can connect you with a social worker. The trouble we had a lot of the time was that my mom would be appointed a social worker who was employed within the hospital ER and their job would be to ensure she got referred and moved to the psych hospital… and then at the psych hospital one that seemed to just give out pamphlets and let her know about intensive outpatient group therapy and try to get her out… I would be like JESUS IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN JUST MAKE HER TAKE MEDS?

so the ones you encounter in crisis mode typically are employed by the institutions and have very short term purviews. So I think going to the council on aging may be able to help more broadly with housing and Medicaid applications.
