[quote=Anonymous]I am confused as to why she does not have medicare - she should have medicare via social security and a pharmacy supplement.  You are on your own with dental - either private pay or free clinic.  She will be over income for medicaid and probably food stamps.  We got my MIL food stamps with $1000 social security and she barely made the limit.  She was denied medicaid (we are working on the long term care medicaid to pay for the nursing home).

Also, if you are in Maryland (saying what county would help) you need to get her on the assisted living wavier program.  It is a five year wait list but all you have to do is call and put her on.  Wish I knew about it.

We called and called adult protective services for help.  We got one nurse who was helpful but only did a little.  There is very little help as she is fine as long as she is in your home (so they don't consider her homeless - we had a similar situation with my MIL who has dementia so we brought her to our house and it was a nightmare getting help).  The county lists all the help on their website but good luck accessing it.[/quote]
