Why do people contact Area Agency on Aging? A son works for a state agency and deals with
Medicaid benefits daily for children.
His father has been the primary caregiver for his spouse who is on
hospice services. The father now has health
concerns of his own. They live on limited income but is over the Medicaid limited
allow. They have no savings. The son had spoken with individuals before
who had stated that there is no help for them because of income. The state of Missouri has a program called Division
of Assets and Home Community Base services and by completing the proper
paperwork they are both able to qualify for assistance with the MO HealthNet so
they can continue to stay in their home and receive the help they need.
