Dependent Care for Spouse

[Guest Sara H]

We have an employee of a client whose spouse must have special care during the day due to having alzheimer's disease. She was wondering what would happen if he got worse and had to go to a nursing home or if he got better and needed less care -- could she change her election? I told her that I didn't think that this would qualify as a change in status & that her original election would remain. Is this correct in both cases?
