Feelinghope Asked January 2018

What are my options to place my husband with dementia in a facility? We can’t pay for NH private and he was not approved for Medicaid.

He was not approved for Medicaid because I have my retirement account. What to do as I can not keep him at home anymore due to his behavior?

Your only option at this point may be in home care.

Have you seen an eldercare attorney, a certified one who specializes in Medicaid? Medicaid has no interest in impoverishing the community spouse (the one not in the NH) but sometimes a qualified income trust needs to be set up. Please seek out a highly qualified lawyer to advise on the application.
