[QUOTE="DDD, post: 616615, member: 35"] Are you confident that you need to wait for Medicaid? My friend and neighbor had resources that made her life more than comfortable and a "tad" bit old-fashioned snobby, lol. Since she had no relatives nearby I agreed to be her guardian. We were friends for sure. Anyway I visited the SS office, her attorney and then finally the Financial Director at the facility. In retrospect I found that she could have kept her home but she decided to do a reverse mortgage which is helpful so long as you remain in your home. Sigh. (I had nothing to do with that decision, by the way!) BUT the Financial Director was really knowledgeable and helpful. She filled in the papers so they could be filed at the earliest possible date and it was slick as a whistle. There were NO changes in care, treatment or room. If I had not shared all the info with my friend she would not have known she had crossed over to government financing. Reading your post (and having followed your loving caregiver posts for years) I know you are very bright. on the other hand, as a CD friend it seems appropriate to share a little been there done that in hopes it is helpful. She truly is a fortunate lady to have you. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
