[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a caregiver who recently cared for an elderly lady until she passed. Her family applied for Medicaid when I started working for her in September and it was finally approved the following May/June. I don’t know if they have an expedited process for people who urgently need to go into a facility - the lady I worked for was being cared for in the home by her eldest daughter who is a retired RN and with respite care from folks like me.[/quote] Every state does it differently but here you have to be in a nursing home bed prior to approval and you go Medicaid pending. [/quote] This. Perhaps she remained at home because they were spending down her assets for her to get close to qualifying and wanted to care for her at home as long as possible. But yes, needs to be in the nursing home while applying for Medicaid.[/quote]
