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 have lived with my mother now 4yrs. I am her only caregiver 24/7. What help can I get to get her into a nursing home? Can they just take her Ssi check because she only has a lifetime right to her home?
Do you have her POA's? Does she have dementia? Is she on Medicaid? Does she have any resources to pay for long term care? Proceeds from her house? Or is the house going to you because you have cared for her for so long? If no assets you will have to find a medicaid nursing home which are hard to find especially those with available beds. Most decent places require two or more years of self pay before they will accept Mecicaid payment.
First, I would make sure that I had Durable POA and Heathcare POA, so you can act on her behalf. (Even if you don't, in some places you can still apply on her behalf for certain programs like Medicaid.)
Then I would go online to see what the requirements are for Medicaid qualifications for Nursing Homes. An Elder Law attorney who knows Medicaid may be able to tell you as well. I would make sure I was familiar with the requirements before I officially filed an application.
In NC, you go to the local County Social Services and they accept applications and process the applicant for all services they may qualify for. Call your local Senior Center or Social Services and ask where you apply.
She will also need to have a doctor sign a form listing the reason she needs to enter Nursing Home. Does she have medical or mental reasons that she needs to be in Assisted Living or Nursing Home? They may send a person to do assessment in her home.
It depends on the state, but in NC, unless she needs skilled nursing care daily, she might qualify for Assisted Living and not a Nursing Home. A proper assessment would clear that up. Basically, if she qualifies they will pay for a place that meets her needs.
Note, in NC, those needing Assisted Living and NOT Nursing Home, may qualify for state help that is called NC Special Assistance. Their rules are slightly different from regular Medicaid.
Oh, I forgot to add that I would look online at the difference in Medicaid and Medicare. I was confused about that for a long time. Medicare is for medical treatment, hospital stay, medications, and certain rehab, but Medicaid consists of much more and may cover not only medical expenses that Medicare does not cover, but also for Nursing Home expenses if your income and assets are below a certain level and you require the services of a nursing home.
