yes they will assess your spouse and determine what is going on as far as their financial situation , and their physical and psychological status . It depends on your state but in California we have a Medicaid waver program. The patient is evaluated by a nurse and then they are approved for either assisted living, or skilled nursing. Then they wait ...........and wait .......for an opening at a facility that accepts Medicaid.
