Nursing Home Question

I have a problem.  Brother(Texas) has feeding tube into his stomach.  He has
PD (severe).  Is there a way he can go home and not be put into a nursing
home?

His wife has applied him for Medicaid and probably will be accepted.  Is it
practical (safe) to have him come home under home health care?  Can he be
fed and medicated properly?  Wife works (has to) so there will have to be a
caregiver there until she gets home?

Thanks for your insight.

Larry (Georgia)
