How does someone qualify for Medi-Cal?
A. There are many “exemptions” allowed for the community spouse (healthy spouse). These exemptions are designed to protect the healthy spouse from being financially devastated and impoverished. Singled, widowed, and divorced people can also benefit from the Medi-Cal nursing home program. The program is designed to help “middle-class seniors” from becoming impoverished due to a nursing home stay.
