I'm glad you got the paperwork done - that is a pain I'm sure! $1140 for one week in the nursing home, unfortunately, is about average. The average nursing home cost is about $5000 per month. It is just so expensive, it's just sad.

I wonder if a nursing home makes very much profit? I know they have to put money back for building maintenance, staff, food, equipment, etc., but you'd think after such a time with so many people in them, they'd be able to lower prices some. I know my friend pays about $5000 a month for her mother.

Hello Ladies. Hope everyone is enjoying the Early Spring.
Update on my Dad. Medicaid denied him. So i get to file the paperwork all over again. Got a call from the nursing home today. He has a UTI and so they did testing. He now is being treated for Mrsa.........I have not been down there in a month. I can't afford the Dam Gas. Sorry. Will be going down now to check on things and find out what needs to be done. My brother lives right there and does not go see him. I could write a book. Ha Ha. As I am sure everyone else could too. When I find out more I will let you all know. Please keep him in your prayers. Thanks so much everyone.

Did Medicaid say why they denied him? Doesn't seem right, if he needs nursing home care and doesn't have enough money to pay. I just don't understand the system these days. I'm sorry you have to do the paperwork again. I went through that when my husband became disabled and he had to file for Social Security disability and VA disability. I thought my hand would drop off and my eyeballs fall out before I got all that paperwork filled out multiple times! It's a royal pain.

Be sure you keep a copy of everything, it really helps, especially if you have to fill something out over again.
