[quote=Anonymous]Medicare will only pay for a specific amount of time (maybe 90 days) from a hospitalization. If she has limited income and only has under $2500, medicaid will pay for nursing home care (there is a special one). The MC Senior Department was not very helpful either. It was very hard putting my MIL in a nursing home but we could not maintain her at our home any longer as she would not leave the house and I had to with small kids. Memory issues can become safety issues. My MIL is now very happy at the nursing home and while it is far from perfect she gets good care. There are some lower income assisted living programs but they are near impossible with memory issues - we got my MIL in one but realize she was not self sufficient and decline the apartment. She could not remember to bathe without help, eat, etc.[/quote]
