She is currently under Tricare Ins. Medicare I assume next month. I am unable to care for her. She needs a feeding tube but pulls it out. I cant lift her safely any more. All I get from Medicaid is somebody who knows nothing reading a script to me. They say my income is too high but a facility would cost MORE than my whole income. Please help.

He suggested that my parents file for Medicaid separately. In doing so, your wife may then qualify. I assume you are not in need of a nursing home. My mother was accepted for Medicaid and placed in a nursing home after a hospitalization and transfer to rehab. My father’s income was not touched or even considered. He was already receiving $1,000 a month from us kids to supplement his income in order to pay for the extra medical assistance he needed.
There are options out there to get the help you need for your wife. Please let us know how you are doing.
