Elderly friend currently in rehab with a broken femur. Not walking anf having panic attacks. No money of any sort except $130k equity in her primary home. Thought she would need to sell her home to pay for nursing home care since she is unable to do anything really for herself at this point. Some friends of hers are telling me that Medicaid will pay for in home care since she is so broke. She has a terrible Humana advantage plan and has until Oct 25 at the latest before she is kicked out of the rehab.
We have hired someone unofficially that helps find Medicaid nursing home beds that are better with full pay at first then keeping her. I was ready to help her empty and sell her house until these elderly friends brought this up. Can she really get ll the care she needs at home from this program? I live far away and am her POA but as she is still lucid and in charge she is making the decisions.
