[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. I will most definitely navigate her through the channels of Medicaid etc. I guess I should have gone through my post throughly before posting. She wants to live with us and pay for her bills. That's her grand plan. [/quote]

Op, it's ok to vent here but honestly you know that you simply (and we know it's not simple) have to say firmly but kindly that she is not moving in. I'm sure you have had years of practice putting up boundaries and saying no.

She can't make you open your door and unload all of her stuff in your house, right? So this is just another hump in the long long road of dealing with your mother where you have to learn to hang up the phone, redirect the conversation, be clear and firm in your boundaries, and direct her towards the information you get about senior living options for her.
She will do as she pleases, and there is nothing you can do other than provide information and help in that regard while firmly declining her requests for money and housing from you.

That's really it. Good luck to you
