[quote=Anonymous]I was born in the US and my husband has been here for over 20 years. His father came here on a green card because it just wasn't safe in his home country and things like electricity were becoming harder to rely on. He was in good health but once he got here, my husband saw he had deteriorated fairly quickly since the last time he saw him fairly recently.
He is staying with us right now but I see a time in the next year or so where he may not be able to handle the stairs and might need more help.
We did not expect this.

He has very little money (he's highly educated and had a good career but the exchange rate means his money isn't worth much here). We can afford to support him at our house but if he needs 24/7 care at a facility, it will be tough.

Do we have any options? He is only a green card holder at this point and I don't think he qualifies for Medicare. We are paying for health insurance.
Can he qualify for any assisted living if he has no real assets?

We could contribute but I don't think we could swing the entire amount.[/quote]
