I have three kids, a husband who works full time, and take care of my 75 yr old paraplegic father.
I have recently been diagnosed with Lupus, and still being screened for cancer. I simply am unfit to continue to attempt to meet my father's needs. :(
Yet he cannot afford the cost of nursing home care. What do I do???
Have you loked at several places and compared prices?
Go with your dad to an eldercare attorney and see about doing a Miller Trust to help him qualify fo Medicaid.
Otherwise, Medicaid would help pay for your Dad to live in a continuing care facility, such as a nursing home. Call your State Medicaid office to see if your Dad could qualify.
Does Dad live in your home or do you live in his home? This will be asked by Medicaid when they do a 5 year look back on finances to see how his money has been used.
