Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
the veteran should be able to qualifty for VA benefits even with their own income, but they'll probably have a co-pay. Look here or more information. There are also a VA benefit called Aid and Attendance that the veteran can take advantage of.
My grandmother just broke her hip. However, she was dianoised with altizermers 6 weeks ago but seem to be going down fast. The family is currently rotation shifts with her because she can not be left alone. She has Humana insurance. We are researching what our options can be if it get too much. She still has land in her name but my parents have been paying taxes on it for years. If she goes back to medicare. Will she have to give up that land or will it be traced back to where her daughter has been paying taxes over 20 years so it could go to my mother with the family lossing the family land?
Good records could help a lot in this case. It the land is in her name, I would expect they will consider it hers, but an attorney (elder attorney or estate attorney) who knows Medicaid laws would be a good idea. You can check with your State Bar Association for names.
If you are referring to the Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit, the answer is very simple. Unlike the rules for Medicaid, the rules for the VA benefit are relatively easy. The veteran can either spend down his funds until the level at which he qualifies, or he can gift the funds to relatives. Unlike the Medicaid regs, the VA regs do not have a "lookback period," where any transfers made during the privious five years can be ignored for determining eligibility for Medicaid. In other words, those funds are "brought back in to the Medicaid" estate for determing what is owed. For most people, there is no gift tax or inheritance tax unless the combined value of cumulative gifts and the value of inherited property exceeds $1,000.000. Be careful though, the gifts/transfers that are allowable for VA purposes are generally NOT allowable for Medicaid purposes. If you have issues like the ones I described here, it is worth the cost to consult with an elderlaw attorney. Even if you don't get the anwswer you want, you'll get something more important - peace of mind.
IT TAKES TIME TO GET THE vA BENEFITS TO HELP OUT EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO HELP OUT. MY DAD WAS A WORLD WAR II PURPLE HEART HERO. WHO WAS MARRIED TO MOM OVER TWENT YEARS. HE PASSED AWAY. MOM CAME DOWN WITH ALZHEIMER'S VERY BADLY.

I RECEIVED OVER TEN LETTERS FROM THE VA AND ALSO HAD MY OWN PFFOCER COTRACT AT THE VA ADMINISTRATION. I DID RECEIVE A CHECK THE FRIDAY BEFORE SHE DIED. OF $2,112.00. WITH A LETTER. AFTER EVERY THING WAS DONE ON TUE I WENT TO SEE MY OFFICER WHO WAS CHARGE OF THE CASE, HE CALLED ME THURSDAY AND INFORM, NO MONEY WOULD BE SENT. EVEN THOUGH I WAS PROMISED BY THE ELDER CARE OF FLORIDA, AND THE VA HELP WOULD BE GIVEN. I DID UNDERSTAND AFTER MOM; DEATH IT WOULD STOP.
