Well. We got documents from Medicaid. The first set said Tom had long-term Medicaid.
The second said, well, no. Only until the end of the year, because he wasn't in the facility any more. He got sick again and is back in the hospital, and it looks as though he will be in skilled nursing for aquatic therapy for a newly discovered spinal issue. I need long-term care coverage -- that's what I applied for, for him -- so I can bring him home, since I have to have someone with him when I am work, and I was told that I could apply for Passport for help with that. No way can I pay for that myself. Now what do I do? 😢
Not sure if this is of any help to anyone outside Ohio, but thought I should share it anyway.
That's what you want to clarify here, whether he is approved for facility care or in home care for the long term.

In general, Long Term Care Medicaid is for in-facility care not care at home.
What state does he live in?
