Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Pooled trusts & how well they work will really imho be interdependent on the nonprofit organization that is managing the trust. Pooled are so far only happening in a handful of states. really carefully shop around to see what the nonprofit is like.
I have a ? for you.....you are the community spouse & it's only your hubs who needs care, correct? & you are hoping to have him apply for Medicaid so that you do not find yourself becoming impoverished later on by paying for his care? and right now, there is just too much money for him to qualify?
If this is kinda your situation, you may want to meet with a NAELA certified elder as atty as to if a pooled trust is best or if you could structure changes to joint finances to get him eligible for traditional NH Medicaid. Only hubs has to be impoverished to qualify for Medicaid. You as the CS do not. If hubs has too much income, he may be able to do a Miller trust for the overage. You need to look into your CSRA /MMNA (community spouse resource allowance & monthly maintenance needs assessment) as well. If you all have lots of assets, so way way over the 117k allowed for a CS, you might be able to do a SPIA; or pay down debt to reduce your future expenses as a CS or widow. But whatever is done has to be worked thorough before the Medicaid application is done.
Medicaid for a widow or widower is pretty straightforward....they have to be impoverished. Its alot of info, but based on a set of required documents. It a DIY by their kids or grandkids. But for couples, it's way way way more complex. Then add into this is that your focus is on the day to day care of your spouse. Really you need someone knowledgeable as to how the system works for CS in your state. Some states have the CS CSRA/MMNA really high (like TX is almost 3k) so for those, getting it maxed could be the better way to deal with income. Its things like this thats why an atty can be invaluable.
