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?
So even though we hear of some great programs it does not always mean we will be able to get into them......unfortunately!
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.
