My father is on home hospice. We were all hoping this was the right thing. My mother is his primary caregiver. It has been 5 weeks. We are not sure if mom can handle this as his care becomes more complicated . To complicate things the condo they live in is in foreclosure (hasn’t gone to court yet) they have limited resources. My father's monthly check pays for all their expenses . My mom only has SS. I believe they qualify for Medicaid especially if my dad's out of pocket expenses increase via more help in the home or ECF placement. IF HE LIVES and is taken off hospice, and they are evicted will my dad be able to go to Nursing Home? How do I begin Medicaid application for my dad? Believe it or not hospice people don’t seem to want to get involved with this. HELP

If you Google the name of your state and Medicaid, you'll get a link to your state Medicaid site. Start there with what you need to gather ( banking records, etc.). At this point, I wouldn't even look at the " qualifying income " part because its quite complex when a spouse is involved is quite complex.

Others are more knowledgeable about Medicaid than I and can offer good suggestions, but be patient since tomorrow is a holiday and there might not be as much traffic on this forum.
