Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I recommend applying for benefits and let the agency sort it out. Some states have programs in addition to the usual well known federal programs. I currently work in public welfare. Let the experts figure it out for you. If they apply and get denied, no harm done. And on the other hand there may be benefits available to them. There are many ways to come into the country without being sponsored.
Usually parents who come from the old country need to purchase their own health insurance... my friend's in-laws were able to get good insurance from Kaiser... my friend's husband and his two siblings had to chip in to help pay the monthly premium. Thank goodness they had it, as the parents were in and out of the hospital for one thing after another.
Now once the elderly parents become U.S. citizens, then one can check with Medicaid. The parents wouldn't be allowed to use Medicare since they never put money into the system through U.S. payrolls.
If there is a life or death emergency, then the parents can go to the ER and not need to pay if they have no health insurance [this was an Act signed by President Reagan].
Free health insurance (also called subsidized) from the government? Probably not because they have not been here for 5 years. I found a document and 2 web references that details Medicaid eligibility that should help answer some of your questions. Unfortunately, if a green card holder has been in the U.S. less than 5 years, their access to low income benefits is quite limited. They will have to pay extra for Medicare unless they have worked here for 40 quarters (basically 10 years). Part of the sponsorship documentation to get them into the U.S. explains at length that the individuals were admitted because they told the government that they were capable of supporting themselves without government assistance or would be able to do so with the help of the person sponsoring them. https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/outreach-and-enrollment/downloads/overview-of-eligibility-for-non-citizens-in-medicaid-and-chip.pdf Resources Information on non-citizen eligibility, application, and verification for Marketplace, Medicaid and CHIP eligibility https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/ Information on Medicaid and CHIP eligibility for non-citizens http://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid-chip-program-information/by-topics/outreach- and-enrollment/lawfully-residing.html If you check with your Area Agency of Aging in your area of Virginia, you might get some churches or food pantries that work with low or no income residents. Unfortunately for your parents, Virginia has some of the most restricted access to public benefits in the country. If your parents were admitted as refugees or under a special program, talk with the lawyers that assisted you and they may have some additional options. Free help for new immigrants that are non-citizens is few and far between with the economy so tight right now.
