@@treau3131 my goodness, you all have been through a lot. I wish there was an easy solution, but there never is. I'm glad they are at least now in your care! In Colorado, in your situation, one would need to get court appointed guardianship since Mom can no longer say who she would want to have handling her affairs. This takes time, written support from her physician, and legal support. See you are on the right track! Another more affordable solution to home care or assisted living is adult day activity centers. You should also contact your local area agency on aging for more resources! Google: area agency on aging in your county Also look for your local P.A.C.E. provider: Program For All-inclusive Care for Elderly. A Medicaid program. All the best, we are glad to be helpful! Thank you for sharing your story! You will be helping others by doing so and you are also not alone. Countless others face this situation, some aren't able to step in the way you have. You're doing something special.

Glad it helped! Please keep in touch if we can answer any other questions. We are here for you and your loved one.

Hello Sherrie, You are absolutely right usually there are only a few communities that will take medicaid. It becomes even more limited if they require a spend down minimum. I wish there were more options for those who are on medicaid and this continues to be an issue in Colorado as well. One thing people can do is get involved in legislation to help where dollars are allocated. If we were to get more reimbursement sent to assisted livings this would open up more options for people. In Colorado the reimbursement for medicaid from the state residents is very low and is not keeping up with the increase labor costs.

Hey Gary, How can we help you?

Hello, thank you for reaching out. Have you checked with the county he lives in to ask about the brain injury waiver? ahca.myflorida.com/medicaid/medicaid-policy-quality-and-operations/medicaid-policy-and-quality/medicaid-policy/federal-authorities/federal-waivers/archive/archive/waiver-program-changes-pac-tbi-sci-acf ahca.myflorida.com/medicaid/medicaid-policy-quality-and-operations/medicaid-policy-and-quality/medicaid-policy/federal-authorities/federal-waivers/florida-medicaid-s-covered-services-and-waivers

wow this is so interesting I am going to look into this more. I am sure it differs state to state.

big difference, assisted livings usually have an increased quality of life, private rooms where you can pay extra for more services nursing homes are where the old, sick people go to die or drug addicts live

Nursing home level of care typically requires 24/7 medical oversight for example: diabetes with ACHS insulin requirements, COPD with oxygen titration, frequent vital signs requirement, iv therapy and more. This is often a good setting for clients who need two person max assistance with daily living activities or who financially qualify for medicaid. There are alot of differences but these are a few. Please check out our video on this topic!

Thank you for watching!

Not a chance. Fla would be broke with so many elderly.

EVERYTHING varies by state. If you need a referral to a specialist like Maintain Me for another state who would be more familiar with the differences please let us know.

There is no way to apply for assisted living. Most people would go to assisted living before running out of money at least 2 years in advance to meet some of the communities spend down requirement.

As planned. Carbs are cheap due to farm subsidies.

Sorry, I have a question, would you be willing to move to another country to receive better atention for the same amount of money?? For instance.. to Thailand or Madagascar… you know to paradaise places, to be on your silver age, while receiving 24h care, organic good etc would you do it?? (Excuse my english, I’m from Spain)

Typically buying a longterm care insurance policy will not be worth it later in life due to the payout. We find that the longterm care policies that have been paid into for over 20 years are the ones with the highest payout. Its still worth asking a professional in this area as we do not sell these longterm case insurance policies, we just help client activate them when needed. I hope this is helpful.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for watching Carra!

Thank you for watching! Unless the person is going to assisted living with medicaid yes the person will still receive social security. If someone is going to assisted living with medicaid, Medicaid will use social security to help pay for their new living situation and then the person will be given an allowance. I hope this is helpful!

I would recommend looking for your local Area Agency on Aging and ask for local resources you might be able to qualify for including long term care Medicaid if you need assisted living and your income isn't enough to pay for it.

of course thank you so much for watching the channel!

Medicaid lasts as needed.Medicare is limited.

Hello, thank you for watching. Medicaid will last as long as needed as long as each year when they request the required documents that these are sent in as requested. The community may have their own agreement with you that states they will continue to care for you once medicaid is in place and at the allowed reimbursement granted through medicaid. I would check if you or your family signed a form spelling out their commitment to that. The $50 is the allowance that medicaid granted you and the remainder is allocated as medicaid states to offset your assisted living rent and care fees. I hope this is helpful, we know how confusing this can be
