Where do you start looking for a place for a 58 year old female on Social Security disability due to dementia a place to live? She can't live alone because short-term memory problems. She receive Social Security payment and Medicaid. What will her options be?
Thank you for any help in advance.
If no family pursues guardianship then Social Services needs to be made aware that she is a vulnerable adult with no support. SS will eventually acquire guardianship of her. After that, I assume they will place her in a county facility of some type.
I would suggest looking into whether Medicaid would cover her in a small group home.
Does she have access to a social worker? Does the senior center offer any care management assistance or referrals?
It might be worth considering setting her up in the new environment before the parents pass so they can assist in planning and pointing out what might make her more comfortable.
