[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should really consider moving her here.  It is extremely difficult to manage anything and make sure she is getting the care she needs without someone looking after the situation. My MIL had a son where she was at who refused to do anything.  It was a problem as she got taken advantage of.   At a minimum, place her on the assisted living wait lists here (and the waiver)... it takes months to years so no harm in doing it early.  She can have some assets depending on the program.  Many do not make you sell your house or car but you can only have so much in cash - usually ranging from $2500 to 10,000 - it is basically $2500 for medicaid.

How much is her social security check?

There are several places in MD that are income based depending on the support she needs.  It is worth it to look into them.

If you sell the house, she gets nothing, it is a non-issue.[/quote]

I have 2 siblings in her area, who have done a tremendous amount, but these kinds of details are over their heads.  Yes, I am aware she gets nothing when the house is sold - just trying to keep her in good credit until we decide what to do.

Very interested in this waiver - worry that it is state specific and probably won't help.  [/quote]

Most states have similar programs.  It is just hard to find information on them.  I would not worry about her credit.  That is the least of your problems.  Get her on wait lists here and in her home state.  You do not have to decide today.  [/quote]
