[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on the state medicaid does not pay for in home care. In MD, it does not and only pays for a nursing home and its income qualified. She is right that Dad should consider taking a leave of absence or retiring. Where do you expect your wife to do all this? You are putting it all on her and you need to step up and help. She is working full time and has her own kids. You don't help much it sounds like. They can hire help. [/quote] Every state has *some* kind of in home medicaid services for people who would otherwise required nursing home care, it comes under Home and Community Based Services, there are income requirements but spousal impoverishment provisions also apply. Might not apply to the particular situation here (depends on level of care needed as well as income) but as a blanket statement it is not correct. [/quote]
