Mom's living in a private pay facility and has 5 months of funds available. I don't know what to do or where she will have to live. It seems such a shame at 93 1/2 that we have to move her. We can't afford to pay for her monthly rent and care plan.
I am looking for ideas on where to start.
Did she or a husband serve in the military during a time of war? Mom qualified for an Aid and Attendance pension because my dad was in the army at the end of WWII. She got the maximum of $1200 which was a big help. Any war qualifies. Check with the VA, it’s a lengthy process so don’t wait.
Definitely get an appointment ASAP with a social worker at Medicaid to start the process before your mom runs out of money. Check any religious affiliation you might have, too.
