[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’ll need to qualify under Medicaid. He needs to spend basically all his assets first, and then switch to Medicaid. Some nursing homes will help you apply. [/quote] Medicaid covers nursing homes, not assisted living.[/quote] There are a few sliding fee programs, I don't remember which but really none providing the level of care he may need. At that income the only option is a nursing home via medicaid (special not regular medicaid). Its near impossible to get a bed going in as a medicaid. It took us 9 months to get a bed and most nursing homes refused. You have to find the bed, then apply. So, if you cannot prepay a month, many nursing homes refuse as if you are not approved they have to eat that cost.[/quote]
