Carol Bradley Bursack, Sep 28, 2009
Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
Although it's a Federal program, it's administered by the state. A general rule is that they can only have about $2000 in assets, other than a home (if lived in by a spouse) and maybe a car (if used by a spouse). To be sure, you need to talk with your county social services or see an estate attorney. They will help you with the "spend down." You may want to read this article:http://www.agingcare.com/133289
