Please advise- friends wife 57 has rapid dementia. Need help with financial questions. How to afford for her to get in a care center with Medicaid trying to protect some assets?
Can I get her on Disability Social Security if I can get her to let come someone while her husband works. Should he get her name off all titles & accounts or is this a 5 yr look back also? We appreciate any guidance quickly, with her not Medicare age it seems to present more hurdles....thanks for all info to share-God Bless.
Get a good elder law attorney well versed in Medicaid regulations.
Elder Attorney should be able to set you on the right path.
As of now start looking at Adult Day Care, contact your local senior center. At 57 she may not qualify but the will have social workers that could offer some ideas.
You could also check some of the Dementia specific facilities, they may also offer day care.
Best to leave well enough alone until the friend's Husband speaks with an Elder Law Attorney. These Attorneys specialize in all aspects of aging, and are highly knowledgeable about Medicaid.
