We are considering making Aliyah in the next couple of years but my husband the only child taking care of a parent with Parkinson’s disease. We have older kids so we would probably be moving to RBS.
Right now, he is pretty independent (lives alone) but he is definitely a major fall risk and we don’t know what kind of care he will need in a couple of years.
Is there a skilled nursing facility in RBS that is good? Does the government pay for in home aides if he rents an apartment near us?

These are questions you should ask nefesh bnefesh.
I think if the individual with parkinsons makes aliyah, he would get some hrlp. But best to ask nbn. They have all the info really.

In NY, the government sometimes pays for exactly this.
It's cheaper for the taxpayer than living at the hospital.

I know it is complicated.
My advice is to contact Chaim V'Chessed to find out what he would be entitled to and how it will work, l'maaseh.

Isn't that for someone who has been paying BTL all the yrs previously?
Why would they cover for someone who makes Aliyah with a medical diagnosis already?
This would be my assumption. But I could be totally off.

That would be logical, and would probably apply in many countries, but this is Israel.
Kupat cholim are required to accept anyone who wants to register, regardless of pre-existing conditions. (Not necessarily to sharap, but for basic coverage.) Bituach leumi looks at current needs, regardless of when you come to the country, and how many years you have paid in to the system.

BTL cover hours of help depending on the need. My grandfather has a full time live in and they pay a high percentage of it. He made aliya 8 years before he started needing the help.

No, once someone becomes a citizen they get the same benefits as someone who has lived there always as far as I know
