Mom's money is running out and she needs gov. assistance. She lives in a retirement community at 1600.00 / mo. Her money will run out in about 2 years. What's the first step to getting her on Medicaid and getting some financial assistance to move her to a less expensive place? She will only have 1350.00 / mo. social security to live on. Please help.
In the event that your mom does have assets that need protecting such as a house, then I would advise you to elicit an elder law attorney. To find an elder law attorney- some of which may give free counsel based on need- visit this site sponsored by the Agency on Aging at http://www.nlrc.aoa.gov/nlrc/Services_Providers/ where you can search by your specific state.
I hope you found this information helpful. And I hope that your mom's transition in care is a smooth and positive one.
