I applaud you for planning ahead. I found a good government resource about long term care facilities. Toward end of article are list of resources that should help find out what is available in your area. There is also a link with tips on how to choose a facility.
National Institute on Aging:

You might also search your state's Human Services website.
Do you have a timeframe when plan on moving?

I have done a lot of investigating. Every state has its own program. You have to own almost nothing ($2000) to qualify for Medicaid.
I will probably move into assisted living within 2 years.
Right now I have the resources to self pay for 2 years.
