drain the Bank Account Health Care. Just did a call with our Niece this past weekend trying to figure out her next move with her Father. Medicare ends next week for his stay ordered by his Doctor for care at the local Nursing Home.

Big massive nightmare,finding a locked facility without Covid. So far in three days of making calls with the help of her local Organizations,we struck out. But,we keep calling.

And yes,it will cost 6900 to 8k per month. So using those numbers,his savings will be gone in about 15 months. BTW,this is not our first Rodeo finding a care facility. Last count,this makes five. Just so one understands,when it comes to complete Medicaid Payments for service,one has to be aware of State Laws pertaining to Claw Back provisions. Which means,portions of estates transferred to Siblings or Children may be subject to claim in order to settle the patients expenses.

Best of luck,it is not easy,you will find very helpful Organizations willing to help. Rest assured,there will be a stinker along the way.
