Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

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:
This varies based on assets, imcome and total savings and each state had their own rules and regulations.
You can rely on the facility to help you but they won't help with the grunt work. But neither will an attorney. You or POA is responsible for gathering all relevant support documents.
I suggest having a consultation with a attorney that is well versed in eldercare and medicaid application process. The cost can be directly paid by your father through his savings. The expense of the attorney is an allowed expense
The finance office where he is staying should be able to help you. Most LTC facilities except Medicaid. Private Assisted Livings and Memory cares may not. It depends on the criteria of the State you are in. You could make an appt at your County Social Services to talk to a Medicaid caseworker to help you understand the application process. This is what I did.
If you do get help thru the facility Dad is in, stay on top of them. In my State, you have 90 days from date of application to spend down any assets Dad has over the asset amount allowed and to get the info needed to complete the application. If not done within that period of time, you start all over.
For me, I applied in April for my Mom. She had 20k which paid for May and June. That was her spenddown. Those two months gave me time to get the info needed together. June she was paid down, I confirmed with the caseworker that he had all the info needed (I emailed it as I received it) and Medicaid started July.
It’s not hard as long as you have access to the info that the application requires, such as DOB, SSN, current address; 3 months of most current bank statements; list of any other assets like house, property, car; most current medical bills, etc.
Whoever fills out the application will need to be provided this info. You can download the app for their home state and see what is required.
Does the facility where he currently is accept Medicaid? If it does not he will have to move. Most facilities that accept Medicaid prefer if you are "private Pay" for a while, usually 2 years, before Medicaid. If the facility accepts Medicaid they can help you apply.
