[quote=Anonymous]OP, aside from the petty poster, there's lots of good info in this thread. The key points again are finding a nursing home where patients can transfer from private pay to Medicaid (ask if they handle the application, etc) and do not sign ANY papers committing you/DH to be responsible for expenses. FWIW, I recommend hiring a lawyer with PROVEN experience on applying for clients for Medicaid. Often they have relations with the agency staff handling the applications and may be more likely to trust them (I speak from experience - both times I had success was when I worked with a lawyer, not a nonprofit rep or the nursing home staff). If your FiL resides somewhere with more than one appropriate nursing home in the area, it is worth visiting in person as well as researching how they are rated by CMS. Good luck![/quote]
