We own land, so we don't qualify for Medicaid, but I have had to quit my job to take care of my husband because of his Parkison's, Diabetes and foot ulcers. Could I still qualify for the PACE program and receive some reimbursement for taking care of him as he needs assistance with nearly all of his ADLs?
PACE is not a reimbursement program. A participant in a PACE program has all of their medical and long-term care needs provided by the sponsor. This can/will include all medical services, home care, adult day care, assisted living care, and nursing home care.
All services are provided by the sponsor's network of providers; a participant may have limited or no choice.
The PACE programs I am familiar with offer top-notch services and care.
By the way, owning land does not automatically mean you do not qualify for Medicaid. If the property is income producing, for example, the property is a non-countable asset. In some states a property listed for sale at fair market value may be considered "unavailable" and therefore non-countable.
So even though we hear of some great programs it does not always mean we will be able to get into them......unfortunately!
