Legal Question in Elder Law in Arizona

My suggestion is that the couple use their remaing money wisely, more particularly, that you make sure that their assisted living residence will not evict them when their ability to privately pay is exhausted. Some of the very best assisted living residences will keep their residents and accept whatever ALTCS will pay, so long as the residents have been privately paying for a particular period of time, ie. for 6 mos or 12 mos. If their current residence will not keep them and accept what the state will pay on their behalf, you need to find them a new residence that will keep them once they qualify. To accomplish this, they may very well need the entire $60k to pay for their rent and care. There are ways to spend down this cash but take care of first things first.
