My friend is in California. She went to a wedding there and suffered a massive stroke. She will be staying there as her family is there. She has a very limited income, but she does have some money in savings. I am attempting to help them decide how to proceed with finding a long-term care facility when the time comes. They are attempting to get her into a group home, which is very expensive. I have told them that I think they should exhaust all her funds paying for the group home so that when she is ready for the long-term care facility she will be able to qualify for MediCal. I am from Texas, so I know that in order to quality for NH with Medicaid that you can only have so much money in the bank. Any ideas?
