I'm looking to place my brother some where, but don't know, if it should be a nursing home or assisted living. Plus, he has diabetes and is in a wheel chair.
Assisted Living will take wheelchair and power chair candidates. He has to be able to get to and from the dining hall without getting lost. Go on some tours for places nearby.
Some Assisted Living Facilities do accept Medicaid. Some accept it after a period of self-pay, and some do not accept it at all. Find that out before you bother with a tour.
