Can a person stay in the home they own and still have Medicaid pay for full or partial care day visits?

Yes. Medicaid has a program specifically geared to keeping elders in their home (and out of expensive nursing homes) as long as possible. My mother had various in-home help paid through this program for several years in her small apartment. She has just moved in with my sister, and the aid will continue there, through a different county.

This program also covers attending adult day care programs.

Call her county Social Services and ask for a needs assessment. They can advise you if Mom is a good candidate for this program, and how to apply.

Good luck!
