By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Basically what Miller does is it become the payee for monthly income and then Miller pays the individual whatever is your states monthly income limit with the rest staying in miller but reverting to the state in some way. There's a lot of prior answers on Miller on this site you can read. The "in some way" will depend on just how your state needs for this to happen as per state laws & how your state runs its Medicaid programs and how much CSRA / MMNA the CS is able to retain.
CSRA MMNA would be monthly income diverted from NH spouse (instead of all of monthly income going toNH as their required by Medicaid copay or SOC/share of cost) to CS to enable them to stay & pay for living in the community. Think of it kinda like alimony for the Medicaid NH set.
Really couples planning is complex. Get NAELA elder law atty.
Lassie - omg wife is 70! She could live another 15 years....or more..... They need to get with elder law atty to figure out how to do community spouse planning ahead of the inevitable fall.
If he falls, EMS called, hospitalization happens & she doesn't take him home, then social services at hospital will find placement for him in a facility. But although this sounds fab as now he's not her problem, it cascades into problems for her...... they have assets, there are funds to pay for care, bills for his care will be stacking up cause Medicare & secondary insurers only pay so much. If she ignores the situation, facilities will issue "30 day Notice" & then contact APS or state to get an emergency ward of the state action done. & he will be made a ward with a court appointed guardian or conservator. They can start attaching assets as she's looked to have relinquished rights.
Their not your parents right? So are there kids and where are they in all this?
Will she go & meet with an atty? Or is this in inevitable trainwreck?
