More details to this question:
My elderly father is in hospital with terminal illness, he is uninsured and my sisters and I have contacted social security, Medicare and VA to enroll him for benefits, with no success. Now the hospital wants us to take him home and care for him or pay for nursing home care. Texas is not a filial responsibility state.

Apply for Medicaid. Medicare does not pay for long-term care.
