He has medicaid and we would like him to come to Austin where we can help oversee his care. Do you have any suggestions of where to go?

If he's a veteran, there are several different options for financial aid available through the VA. It's a long, time-consuming process, but worth it.

Reminder - if he is on Medicaid in different state than you live in, he will have to re-qualify for Medicaid in the new state.

Call the senior services n your area or similar organization or just look around on line for facilities in that area that accept medicaid.
