Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
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:
Where is your brother now? If you are not able to care for him and cannot afford the cost of in home care with an aide, you need to tell the Social worker brother is an unsafe discharge. You will not get 24/7 care having Medicaid come to your home. Medicare only offers intermediate care. A nurse is not there all the time.
You don't mention your ages and what health problems your brother has. If he is going to be 24/7 care, you may need to place him. If HE has no money other than Social Security and maybe a pension, he may have to apply for Medicaid. Do not use your money for his care.
Please bear in mind that your brother (or Medicaid) is unlikely to be able to afford a home care nurse for extended hours. Don’t put all your eggs in that basket, look at all possibilities.
You say he was released from the hospital, but apparently has not yet come home. I presume he's in a short term facility for rehab. They can only keep him for a limited time before discharging him. He does NOT, however, need to come home, unless the proper care has been set up and a care plan is in place. Work with his doctor or nurse in charge to create a care plan. If you are unable to provide his cares, and unable to get a professional in place to provide in-home care, then he will need to be transitioned to a long term care facility. If you are looking to hire in-home help, you will need to know exactly what cares need to be provided, and you can search for local home care providers. When his money runs out, he will likely qualify for Medicaid assistance, which will help to pay for in-home care or a long term care facility. If he is expected to fully recover from his current condition, then please keep him in rehab as long as possible. Their goal is to help him to recover sufficiently to be independent at home before being released home. The caveat is, if he is unable to make progress then rehab can no longer bill and will look to discharge him.
If he was eligible for rehab you should call and get him enrolled asap. I think you have a few days. From there he may qualify, most do, for home health to help him transition to home care. Depending upon his insurance he may qualify for ongoing home health which is basically medical oversite, plus a few perks, NOT custodial care. If he needs custodial care the rehab etc can help you determine.i hope this helps.

If not you should call his doctor and ask how to arrange for this. What kind-of nursing help does he need?
