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.

however in the state of VA next in line for inheritiance is DAD who is in a NH and on pending Medicaid, this is for my deceased brothers house who died intestate, Iam leaving his house in his name for the time being and paying all taxes on both houses,
and his A&A is being used by myself to pay his expenses until Medicaid goes thru..unless I decide to bring him home and get home care by renting out brothers house and using his income of A&A and Social Security...which may be the way to go
if possible.Also A&A monies are not as monitored as Social Security for Medicaid approval....we have had A&A for three years and its the only money 10,000 retroactive
money that dad has ever received used for an irrevocable Funeral Trust.
what does MERP stand for?thankyou...simultaneously deathof caretaker adult brother
and NH entry for Dad...………………………...complicated......thanks for any advice
In whose names exactly does the title recorded at the courthouse show?
And exactly when was the title recorded?
In what name (s) is the annual property tax bill?
Those answers will be very critical to what the situation will be for MERP.
Medicaid is not free. It's a program like food stamps that is intended to help low income, poverty level people afford health care assistance. If you have assets - like a house - it's a program that provides care while a person is alive and requests reimbursement from the estate when the person passes away. When you say the house was put "in our name", did your father transfer ALL ownership of the house to you and ? If your father's name is not on an asset like a house, Medicaid won't attempt recovery on the house because your father is not an owner. If you and ? (NOT your father) both own the house, medicaid can not attempt recovery. If your father's name is still on the house with you and ? co-owners, yes, Medicaid may attempt recovery.
No, Medicaid is not a free ride to provide nursing home care while family keeps a parent's house.
My question is how the Aid & Attendance will be paid to anyone without a caregiver agreement in place? If your father has dementia, can he execute a revised agreement to pay you (or someone else) for caregiver services? The VA does require that you update the paperwork for who is actually administering the money paid under Aid&Attendance. You want to consult a lawyer, and they could help determine which financial way to go. If your father has been paying part of the bills for the house and it's not in his name? Medicaid may view that as gifting to you/your brother and dad may not qualify. SEE A LAWYER.
