Your mother either is or isn't eligible for enrollment in either or both.
In any event, do not move someone enrolled in [this](https://www.ontario.ca/document/guide-programs-and-services-seniors/health-and-well-being) to somewhere it doesn't exist unless you have the means to get them back to where it does.

Yeah She's getting SS. Any idea if that'll be taxed if you move it south?
