The Watkins-Logan Home decided not 2 take him because he has a tracheotomy that HE uses on his own. Cleans, suctions, everything because they don't want him to come home. He is service-connected 100% paid 2 go 2 a Warriors Home (Watkins-Logan) but was denied because they don't have a respirory therapist. If he goes into a nursing home, he said he will just be so so sad and I can't stand 2 think of such a thing. Assisted living will cost so much, I will be in the street w/ no car. Is there anywhere near Tyler, TX, that the VA would help pay for a decent living place for him where he can get physical therapy to walk better and not be put back in a 21 day AWFUL place like he went to before to rehab him back to walking?? I'm in a race for time bc he's going 2 be sent somewhere possible like the one before (it was pathetic!) no bathing, begging for his meds, it stunk, the aides were rude....I'm so desperate to find a place for him (per hospital case management)..does anyone know of a place for a 100% service connected veteran??
You will not be left in the street. If u can get Medicaid, you will be considered the Community spouse and will not be impoverished. Your living expenses will be taken into consideration.
