[quote=Anonymous]PP (social worker whose spouse is a NHA) on the other thread here.  You mention trying to go the assisted living facility route for her spend down.  I have to say that this does not sound like a good plan to me.  What you need to do is get her into a nursing home while she has some assets and let them be spent down while in the nursing home where they will then assist you in the Medicaid application process.  It's far easier than trying to get into a nursing home in a Medicaid pending status.

The reason why you need good credit to get into an assisted living facility is this.  Once the money is gone to pay the bill, you have to leave.  If you don't leave voluntarily, you get evicted through whatever channels the state has set up for that to happen.  (Nursing Home regulations vary by state and you mention that you are not in Maryland so I don't know what the eviction process might be).  The reason for good credit is to insure that you are going to pay your bill.  [/quote]
