I'm sorry you are in such a squeeze right now. Hang in there! Wilgie is right, Medicare has housing options for seniors under the poverty line. You could also take a reverse mortgage on the house which will pay you a monthly amount you can use to get help. Maybe these folks can help? You can get some advice. Elder Law of Michigan, Inc.

yes mam im looking into veterans benefits but all he has is his house thats his only asset . we are just in a bad situation i can barely feed him . my family wants to just put him in a home and i dont wana do that . if they can pay for him to be in a home they can pay a sitter to be with him at home . he worked his hole life and he deserves to pass in his house . sorry im venting if you can come up with anything else please wright me back thank you so much

Does your grandfather have any assets/savings/social security/veterans benefits? Those should be used for his care. Have you applied for Medicaid on his behalf?
