[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 103524, member: 1722"] Jo, It sounds like this particular alf doesn't want folks that depend solely on social security. We ran into that here as well. I called every single alf in the area and found several that accepted social security. I then did surprise tours of each facility and found our winner. It certainly wasn't as pretty as the top of the line places, but it was clean. And safe. And friendly, in a good location. They were willing to work with us so my Dad would fit in. What helped us financially with my Dad was getting him signed up for medicaid. He did a spend down by continuing to pay for his private health insurance. He paid something like $30 a month for extra coverage but medicaid picked up his deductibles and co-pays while BCBS covered his prescriptions and doctor's visits. Dad was upset about doing this at first because he thought he would need to give up his BCBS and rely solely on medicaid, but that wasn't the case. [/QUOTE]
