My spouse is 61 yo, and has been diagnosed with early staged alzheimers disease. His disease process has progressed rapidly, and the doctor states he is in the later stage (stage 4) of dementia. Since he is only 61 years old, he only qualifies for SS Disability, which he is getting. But is there a difference in the in-home care benefits that he may qualify for?
It may be helpful for you to consult with a certified elder law attorney who is knowledgeable about Medicaid.
