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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

You problem is unique in that you are both too young for retirement.
I think here that you must now be on SSDI? Have you looking into any programs in your state that may provide access to low income housing through your caseworker? Are you yourself able to get any minimal payment for the care of your husband?
You don't tell us what the limitations are for your husband post stroke, but the truth is that if he requires your full time care he is likely going to need to enter care. That will mean a division of finances if there ARE any. And the only thing about being wiped out here is that there are no assets to divide. Your husband's care would be provided by the federal government programs, and in all honesty, for those under retirement age and not on Medicare I have zero idea what those programs are. I have to refer you to medical, social services and SSI manager to discuss.
I will tell you first off the hardest truths I know. I have a friend/CPA whose wife was put into a permanent coma following an accident. He had two small children. He had to actually divorce her so that her care would be paid for rather than taking is income which he needed for his childcare so he could work. No one was even informed of the divorce. He was faithful to his wife the years she lived, and they were more than a few.
I can only refer you to those who are working with the severely disabled in your area, to your coucil on aging (tho you are young for it), to your caseworkers. I can only send sympathy and best wishes and tell you that what you are dealing with is more than I can even begin to imagine. My heart goes out to you, and that surely is of no use to you at all.
I hope others have some idea of where you might turn. I just don't. I can't imagine. I hope you'll update us and I wish you the very best.
