Medicaid has not approved our division of assets and I need to get my husband in a rest home. He did not have long term care insurance. Advice?

I am confused.   You say Medicaid has not approved the division of assets.   Normally, you would be able to stay in the house and keep one car.  Is the issue that the amount of social security/pension they are willing to let you keep not enough to support your lifestyle?   Because if you want Medicaid to pay for his nursing home, you have to accept their division, or see an attorney.   Is there some reason you think their finding is not reasonable?   You will not be left insolvent, but you may have to adjust your life style.

You can call 911 the next time it is the least bit warranted. Next time he falls or starts choking or maybe delusional. Get him into the hospital setting and have the case worker and SW help you with placement. Make sure they understand that your home is no longer safe for him to be in. You need to refuse strongly any suggestion of taking him home with you. If this fails (it shouldn't if he truly needs a SNF or nursing home care), then you may need to call APS, although its unclear to me whether they would be truly helpful or not.

Consider getting an elder law attorney to assist auth qualifying him gator Medicaid. Did they give you specifics on why the division of assets was not approved?

If an emergency arises get him to the ER and refuse to take him home. Tell them he is unsafe discharge and needs more care than you can provide.

You’ll have to be patient for the time being and wait for MEDICAID to approve him. Many LTC facilities are not admitting new residents right now. Now is not the time to try to leave him at the ER, in fact you might not even get him in to the ER at this point in time. He may not make it past triage before being turned away.
