Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
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.

Is he a Veteran? Is he getting Social Security? How old? Can you post additional details? If he is a veteran, review www.va.gov website and try to apply for VA benefits. Contact your local Area on Aging. Where do you live? Blessings, Bridget
MY HUSBAND IS 63, ON SOC. SEC. $600 PER MONTH. HE IS MENTALY AND PHYSICALY HANDICAPPED. CANNOT GET DISABILITY. I NEED FINANCIAL HELP WITH MEDICAL BILLS ETC...WE LIVE IN DOOR COUNTY WISCONSIN. I AM EMPLOYED WITH NOI INSURANCE BENEFITS, MAKING $500 A WEEK. OUR HEALTH INSURANCE IS $780 A MONTH. I HAVE DEDUCTABLES AND 80/20 TO MEET. THANKS FOR ANY HELP I CAN GET. SHARON
Even if he has been denied Social Security Disability, appeal it. It awful to say but most people are denied the first time they apply. You don't need an attorney or "representative" to help with the appeal process, just complete the forms. All an attorney or representative will do that you cannot do for yourself is to take your money. You may have to appeal more than once, just keep at it. Good luck to you.

VA aid and attendance may be available to him. This money is used to hire caregivers. You would have to check to see if you could be paid with those funds under a care contract. He must have a VA rep you could talk to. I have found face to face meetings are the most productive.
Amarie, vast majority of wives do not get paid to care for their husbands unless the husband can pay the wife from his own retirement fund.
Otherwise, see if your husband can be accepted into Medicaid.... if yes, see if your State has a program where a love one can be paid.... if yes, please note the pay would be minimum wage for a few hours per week.
Also, if your husband was a U.S. veteran, check to see if there are programs for the Vets.

This question has been asked periodically and answers offered on how to begin the process of getting assistance from the VA.
If his disability is service connected, he might be eligible for compensation for that, as well as medical treatment which the VA provides.
You'll find a lot of helpful information by reviewing questions other veterans or their spouses have posted.
If he is a veteran, review www.va.gov website and try to apply for VA benefits. Contact your local Area on Aging. Where do you live?
