    it’s all about what you have in assets and income. Each State different limits

    Before you apply for Medicaid for when he is still living with you( not in any of the care levels you mention), call your doctor ask if they take your state’s Medicaid health coverage. I do not believe Medicaid waivers apply if not in a facility- just the Medicaid health coverage is applied

    Once you place him in any of the levels of care you mention, you will want to apply for Medicaid Waivers so that at least some of the expenses are covered. Medicaid Waivers allow a person to get coverage for some of the care in the facility.

    Then there is institutional Medicaid- which pays for care in facilities that accept it in your state. Since you were told about Medicaid waivers by a professional, my guess is that AL and MC may not be eligible for institutional Medicaid in your state
