Elefer Asked January 2019

I am responsible for my brother's care & finances. He has early dementia & depression & qualifies for Medicaid. What should I worry about?

He has a small VA pension and modest Social Security income. He has lived in a subsidized apartment but is about to be moved into assisted living. He has no estate to speak of, except for a modest sum to cover burial expenses.

Is Medicaid paying for the AL or is that private pay?

I would recommend taking that modest sum and prepaying his funeral. It will be put in a trust by the Funeral home. Medicaid will allow this.
