Medicaid waiver recipients experience with requesting skilled home care vs. Nursing Home 24/7. Anyone try it?

Thanks again!

Mom's case manager encouraged this. She's in her own apartment receiving non medical Medicaid homecare and again my question was for anyone having approached Medicaid with the doctor's order for overnight care included in the waiver continuum of care? Not Medicare short term recovery. Thank you regardless!

You say she is in Independent Living, which is not covered by Medicaid. Colorado Medicaid will pursue the cheapest option. So if they pay a nursing home $200 a day, they would not provide more than that to stay home. You need to know the break-even point for your area.
