According to AARP – As of October 2015, all 50 states and the District of Columbia offer Medicaid waiver self-directed long-term services and supports (LTSS) programs that allow qualified individuals to manage their own care — meaning that people can hire and fire their own caregivers. Some states permit the care recipient to hire a family member to provide care.
Eligibility, benefits, coverage and rules differ from state to state. Some programs pay family caregivers but exclude spouses and legal guardians. Others will pay care providers only if they do not live in the same house. Medicaid home care benefits also depend on the Medicaid program in which you are enrolled.

I am 61 years old and will need to quit my job in Illinois to go to Tennessee to help care for my Mother. I will lose my medical insurance when I quit. I do receive social security on my deceased husband. Will I be able to get some medical insurance through Medicaid?
