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.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I’m sorry but your post doesn’t make sense. You were a therapist who gave up your practice? And what does this have to do with qualifying? Qualifying for what? Who are the “they” in your post? What is passport? Is that a Senior help agency? If “they” denied you 2 years ago, you can always reapply. Please try to repost with a more clear explanation.
Bobcat, as Ahmijoy had mentioned, I also am not clear about your post.
Sounds like you were a mental heath therapist and had to close your practice in order to take care of your parents. Correct? From your profile your Dad had passed in October [my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family], and you are continuing the care with your Mom, who also has Alzheimer's, the same as your Dad.
Were you trying to get your parents onto Medicaid [which is different from Medicare] and your parents didn't qualify because they had too much in financial assets, thus the property? Is "passport" the name of your State Medicaid?
If you need Medicaid's help and your parents [now your Mom] has assets, Medicaid likes to be paid whatever your Mom has available, thus the property [I assume there is a house on the property].
If you were a full-time around the clock caregiver living under the same roof with your parents, check with Medicaid to see if you would be able to keep the property since you were their caregiver for those two years. Thus, you had saved Medicaid two years of cost. Something to look into.
Here is what I found. TG he has the state he lives in.
"The Ohio Medicaid PASSPORT waiver program allows seniors that require a nursing facility level of care to remain living at home, or the home of a family member, and receive care in those locations. ... This allows the beneficiary to have a degree of control over who provides him or her with care.
Bobcat, do you live in Moms house or does she live with you? Usually, if she lives in her own home that doesn't count against her as income. If she has property, other than the house, it can be sold for her care. Once you spend that down, then her income will be looked at. Waivers are for people who don't have much money. If they say an option is turning over the property to them, I would do it. But, I would get a written assessment of the property to make sure it is used to offset her care. Just in case she is in her house and they put a lean on her house at the time she passes. You want to make sure she is credited accordingly.
