Has she received an official Alzheimer's diagnosis from a doctor at this point? If she has (and I highly recommend getting her to one if she hasn't) and she's on Medicaid she should qualify for in-home care.
Correct. She has to be diagnosed with dementia in order for her to be put in a nursing home or a dementia program. So get her to a doctor asap. At least thats how it is in Louisiana. We just put father in law in nursing home and he has to sell all his assets to pay for nursing home and then after that Medicaid kicks in

That is not necessarily true . See an elder care lawyer.

There are memory care communities that do not require a dementia diagnosis. Many of these are private pay, but they do help process long-term care insurance reimbursement paperwork.
Note, memory care communities are different than nursing homes.

If the MIL is still alive I suggest looking for an estate planner/lawyer that specializes in nursing home care. They can work the loopholes to get your FIL Medicaid to pay for the nursing home. It’s worth the time and money. We spent 150K in nursing home care before we found out for my mom. Both Husband and wife have to be alive for it to work.
Our Estate Planner said Congress put in loopholes so that they could have their families and friends take advantage.
