Q: DR and social worker want him placed ASAP and I can't find a place that is not private pay

Can't find a facility for AZ husband that takes medicaid, they want private pay. I go to court tomorrow for temporary and permanent guardianship.They will sit on the permanent papers for a couple weeks before he is served by sheriff. If some one messes up and does not hold the permanent papers, I'm dead. He has NEVER been physical but they think that will do it and I don't want to be here. We looked today at nicer places and they were all private pay 5000.00 a day plus community fee of 1000.00 to open the room! It made me sick to think of him in there, he is high functioning. We have been married 38 years and now when it's supposed to ge golden years, I lose everything.

The social worker and DR caled my daughter who lives in different state to come back for me saying they thought I would end up in hospital with nervous breakdown.

She is flying in tomorrow. So we keep searching for a place that will accept medicaid.

Thank you all for your help, I appreciate any little bit of advice. yes, I did get papers from VA, that's a nightmare wading through those!
