There is no money in the bank in his name, only mine. He suffers from Dimentia, which is getting progressively worse. Sadly, I am his only care taker, and I am worn completely out.on rest, no time off and I can only imagine what lies ahead. Will Medicade help me place him without taking any money from his meager monthly income? dollbay1966
Qualifying for Medicaid means one is assessed as needing LTC plus having financial need, so it's a 2-piece qualification. Medicaid will pay for his medical care and his SS will cover the custodial care. My MIL was on Medicaid. All but $90 a month went to pay for the facility room & board. She never needed even the $90 a month. All her needs were met by the facility.
