In addition, he would first need to have an audit/assessment of any needs. When they
see he maintains his apartment (pretty well independently), his hygiene, prepares his
own meals, and his health in general (*) is OK... I'm not sure he would qualify. Those
abilities would also keep him from being admitted to any "skilled nursing facility".
(*) - With exception of balance and heart history.
I have started to investigate local "assisted living" facilities that DO accept Medicaid
residents. But that also opens up a few other tasks (if I found some place that is
acceptable to me)... GETTING him on Medicaid (he'd need to go through a very brief
spend-down period)... and most difficult: getting HIS buy-in on the whole thing. He
does NOT see himself in any kind of dire need of that kind of change. I, on the other
hand, am viewing it in real-time... and it's NOT good. But he's not in any kind of
mindset to give up what he has.

Oooops... forgot... in-home visits would also incur a $40-per copay.
That ALONE would make him push back. He declined a physical therapy plan because
each visit would be $40 AND they wanted to do 3 or 4 sessions per week. And, they
would NOT do in-apartment visits because he - himself - drives. (The PT plan was NOT
doctor-ordered, it was doctor-suggested.)
(Looking at clock... time to call and get grocery pick-up list.)

I just hope they are not making babies... maybe one, or both, can't. Still a
great mystery.
Good morning MadOG'mornin, snails!
TGIF flyby ~~~

took a flashlight to his heini - definitely boy, not fixed 
guess he'll be going to the vet in the near future ..................
breathing a liitle easier though since all of my 5 girls are fixed but i had to make sure i was not looking at a repeat of the mama cat scenario
I don't think I could handle more than 2 kittehs. 
Just got back from being squished and squashed by mammography!! Had to do a few more, just to be sure...
all is well....
Having 3 close friends diagnosed with breast cancer, one, the youngest, who passed quickly, I was a bit nervous this time, especially when they said they needed a few more pictures. Just overlapping tissue....
