This is nice information. I recently had to drive from Austin Texas to Abilene Tx to pick up my mother. We are not close and I am an only child. She has dementia. I had no idea it was so bad. The man she had been living with for many years didn't call us or anyone to tell us they were living in filth over the last six months. My mother had a broken shoulder and not one item of clothing that wasn't covered in Sh**. We bought her clothes took her to a doctor how missed the broken shoulder even though we said it was badly bruised. Brought her to my home. Keep in mind she doesn't even remember me or my wife or son. She ended up fighting with us and we had EMS come out. They took her to the hospital and found her shoulder was broken. They then sent her to a home to recover and now she is back with us. Several doctors say she requires 24 hour care. We are doing our best only because I am out of work at the moment. I can't stay out of work or we will lose our house. If I go back to work we can't leave her alone. So we are stuck. None of her sisters seem to care or even reached out. So now we have an appointment with a lawyer because we have no clue out to make all this work. We could not find her atm card so we have no access to any of her money. She can't write or read at this point with the Dementia. She can't function on her own at all. We are hoping the lawyer who specializes in elder care can get us started in the right direction.
Long term medicaid not the same as medicaid insurance. So at the nursing home I am at now, I receive medicaid and medicare. They take $858 out of my $918 SS money every month. Why is it that they don't care about the shoes and incontinent pads that I need? They don't care about the organic foods I need, even though I am 100% sure that a person needs raw green leafy veggies and fruits mostly to be healthy. This nursing facility seems to want people to be sick. They serve lots of carbohydrates and sugars. There are candy and coke machines available to everyone. If someone smokes they go to their room to tell them when it is time to go outside for a smoke break. How is this nursing?
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)
This was such valuable information thank you
of course thank you so much for watching the channel!
This must vary state to state because in Kansas I think Medicaid only pays long term care for "care homes", not assisted living.
wow this is so interesting I am going to look into this more. I am sure it differs state to state.
Excellent bottomline questions answered.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching the channel
Help help !!
Hey Gary, How can we help you?
What about wayne County, Michigan? I only received ssd
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.
When someone been accepted to assisted living, does the person still received social security?
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!
what's the between nursing home and assisted living?
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!
Apply in advance for Assisted Living? What if it is approved years before you need it?
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.
Hello I’m kinda lost here and wanna ask you for advice. My father in law suffered a stroke 20 years ago and half his brain is atrophying. He used to be manageable but as time has progressed he has behavioral problems. Were broke and he only gets 500 a month from his social. He’s around 57. I’m just wondering how we could afford for him to be taken care of. We live in FL
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Have you checked with the county he lives in to ask about the brain injury waiver?

does this apply in the state of fl?
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.
Can my husband get paid for taking care for me?
Great question! And the answer is yes, here in Colorado, it is possible. And this is a great topic for us to cover actually!
posting a new video on march 6th with an expert on this topic!
I own a home and pension and 66 years old. I may need assistance of a nursing home in the next 10 years. I do not want to lose my home. Don’t want to have a lien put against my house by Medicaid. Can I just buy a long-term care insurance policy that will cover my nursing home expenses? I live in New York. I’d appreciate your feedback thanks
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.
