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.

You can also do repairs to Dads house using his money. House will sell better if you need to do some cosmetic work. Have a realtor come in and tell you what needs to be done to help the house sell. I don't see where buying stuff and returning it helps. The money from the return needs to go back in his account.
My dad lives in Oregon. I have continuously asked this question online and I only get " check the rules for your state" I have called the eligibility line and left messages for weeks now and no one is returning my calls that knows how to answer this question. The state Medicaid website does not give specifics.. I cannot even find out what items are not eligible to be used for spend down he does not need anything as we will be using the items in his current home. So I am going to buy stuff then return it. I guess we will have to do this constantly to keep his assets down in the checking and savings account to make sure he passes the audits to remain eligible. ( sigh)
They also dont address any cash that is given to him in gifts. I guess I just need to tell him to not deposit any cash he gets and to keep it in a safe?
Be aware though, that if you pay taxes and bills on the house, there is no guarantee that Medicaid will let u recoup them from the proceeds. The house also needs to be sold at Market Value. I was told this by Mom's caseworker. Even with good records he could not guarantee me anything. I live in a State with the highest taxes in the US. I chose not to pay Moms taxes once she was on Medicaid. I did keep the lights on with timers set to go on at sundown and turn off at 11pm. Heat, I kept at 55° so the pipes would not freeze. DH unplugged the stove, frig and appliances.
You cannot afford to be wrong and you need expert advice.
