[quote=Anonymous]My MIL in Virginia was in this boat for awhile. She lived off of social security and didn't have much by way of assets, but she still didn't qualify for any assistance that we could find. Eventually she had a crisis and was moved to a nursing home, and qualifying for Medicaid at that point was fairly straightforward (we put some of her money in a funeral trust and she private paid for a couple months at the nursing home to spend down the rest of her assets, and then applied for Medicaid when her bank account was under $2000). So it could be the case that it is easier to qualify for Medicaid in VA than in MD as other posters have said, but that is only a factor if your mom needs bursing home care. We were not able to find a whole lot of help that was available in VA for seniors who are not yet at that point.[/quote]
