Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 My husband charlie is 73 yrs old and has lbd. he's been to the ER twice in the last week with a stomaach virus and he's really having a hard time getting around he needs assistance with his walkign and all. The dr. at the ER asked me if I was going to be able to take care of him long term or if I needed to put him in a nH. He has 2 sons from another marriage one is disabled due to muscular dystrophy and the other works he's here with me if I need him when he's off. Also he has bed sores on each heel and with the diahrea he had for 2 days he has a nasty one on his rear. I took him to his surgeon yesterday and he asked me the same thing was I going to be able to take care of him long term. I have a bad back and legs, knees all due to arthritis that is why i'm out of work on disability. Even though i " m only 58 I'm not able to lift and help him out of bed. We have money in a cd and money in savings Do any of you know if i would be able to transfer this money into my name only and be able to keep it and him be elegible for medicaid if i need to put him in one. I read some reports in the links about elder law and it seemed to state that you could do that but I'm not sure. We live in South Carolina and I'm planning on seeing an elder att. but was just wondering if anyone else had gone through this process.thanks Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
