Know one truly understands until they go thru it. It maybe time to admit its too much now and ur wife needs more care than u can give her.

Medicaid may be the way you need to go. Do you have any assets besides a home and a car? These are exempt when applying for Medicaid. I will give you my GFs parents as an example. Both in their 80s. He suffered from Dementia and he needed more care than she could give so she placed him in a NH. Their monthly income consisted of SS and pensions. They had 60k in assets. Medicaid allows for assets to be split. So, the 30k he received went to his care and when gone Medicaid was applied. My GFs mother remained in the home and had the car. She received enough or maybe all of their monthly income to help her live. The Community Spouse cannot be made impoverished.

I would make an appt Social Services and see what your options are. You may need a elder lawyer to help with the splitting of assets.
