My father is on medicaid and in an assisted living nursing home, but only because my mother refuses to let him move back home because of his past physical and emotional abuse. Physically, he would be able to live on his own in senior apartments with a home health nurse visiting a couple of times a week, meals on wheels, etc. If he were to move in with me, would medicaid pay me or cover the costs for him to live with me instead of a nursing home? If he did move in with a child and does not need 24/7 care, are we allowed to still have full time jobs outside the home, or does medicaid require the caregiver to be there all the time, even if he doesn't need someone there all the time?
