Dad has Alzheimer's. Living with companion and her son. Funds running out for homemaker services. Need AL or memory care. Also Medicaid after a few months of private pay. My dad will be so desolate without his companion. Neither understand the situation. Have chance to hire affordable homemaker but afraid only putting off the decision
Your option would be either take what he has left and pay a caretaker or private pay for a nice NH who excepts Medicaid. I chose to private pay 2 months for Mom in a NH. I applied for Medicaid in April, placed Mom May 1st, she paid for May and June and Medicaid started July 1st.
Its not fair to the son to care for your Dad when he has his own Mom. I think now is tge time to make the decision concerning his long term care.
