[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elderly cousin who has been paying out of pocket for round the clock at home care is about to run out of all of his assets. I am worried my parents are going to run through their own retirement assets supporting him, which means they will have none for themselves, which means I won't be able to support myself in old age, etc etc.

He gets about two thou a month in SS. He lives with his sister rent free. But he needs nursing care. Would he be eligible for Medicaid nursing home or home health aides?[/quote]

Yes, but understand that in less you go into a hospital first and go to rehab then a nursing home, you have to find a nursing home that will take medicaid pending.  In six months and many hours, I only found one and I think that was pure luck.  Call Adult Protective Services or whom ever deals with it.  He may be eligible for an in-home aid or adult day care.  I never figured out how to get it paid for though but I know its an option.  We just got a run around.  [/quote]
