My husband is paralyzed from chest down. Obviously, he needs tons of help. I have been caring for him for close to 3 years (with some aide help through Medicaid, but they are in short supply and not reliable). I am burnt out (got cancer from the stress) & considering putting him in a home or moving with him to assisted living. I only work part time and need his S.S. Would I be able to keep any of his S.S. if I put him somewhere? I thought I read that the wife was allowed to get a percentage?
Like do you own your own home? If so then you may have to move to somewhere less expensive that will base the rent on your income. This type of housing us usually handicapped equipped too. Something to think about.
