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.

Medicaid should cover the copayments for his meds. If his income is below 100 percent of the Federal Poverty Level; the state agency home care worker can also help you apply for QMB (qualified medicare beneficiary) which helps pay for MCR part B.
Medicaid will NOT pay you to care for your Uncle as they have been paying the NH. If your area has a broad community based medicaid funded program for the elderly, like PACE, he may need to be evaluated to be in PACE first & foremost before Medicaid will pay for any In-home health services.
Realize that Medicare only covers at best 80% of part B costs. If his SS check is low, he is going to be short to cover his copay as the costs of care & medications are nothing but expensive. Most have a gap policy to cover this but within whatever coverage rules of the gap policy, if not on Medicaid. Right now is open enrollment period for Medicare!
If yiu still plan on doing this, try to get his medications. You will need to legally have DPOA & MPOA paperwork to do this. Take small ziplocks & a sharpie marker to put them in and label. Most drugs Rx'd in a NH are 90 day blister packs held & locked at nurses station. If Medicare paid for them, medicare will NOT likely pay for a second set either. Could be $$$ to have to private pay to redispense both in drug cost at pharmacy and to find a MD to write the RX's.

Just curious why are you moving your Uncle out of the nursing home as your profile indicates that he has Alzheimer's/Demetria. Will you be bringing in caregivers to help you or do you have others in the family who will take different shifts for his care?
