My husband is in a state owned VA facility. They are requesting that I pay for a one to one companion for him due to frequent falls due to his diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension. He is in a memory care unit due to dementia.He has been there for almost 3 months and has had 3 falls since his admission. The near falls are much more since they have been providing one to one for him. I was recently informed that they can no longer provide this service due to staffing. I was told that I need to provide this service for him through my own funding. He has a VA connected disability rating of 90%.This would be difficult for me. Do I have other options? He also has a Medicare Advantage Plan through Independence Blue Cross.

You tell them that you don't have the resources to pay for someone to be with him. That would cost you thousands a month.
