That is undocumented. Google "undocumented" defined. She didn't present herself to an immigration station upon entering and she's lacking proper documentation to be here legally or to work

That's undocumented in the US.

All would at a minimum require Medicaid and few take Medicaid. Call aging and disability.

Not country of birth. Her home country. Stop making excuses. There are consequences of illegal choices. This is one.

No.

Thank you, I’ll look into it.

Nope. No temporary status, just expired guest visa.

Some jurisdictions -- including DC and Montgomery County -- have medicaid paid with local dollars (not federal) for undocumented immigrants. It doesn't cover everything and I don't know if it covers long term care.

The costs for long-term 24-hour care are astronomical, whether paid for by taxpayers (Medicaid) or privately. If she has no legal status there is no way a facility will accept her long-term. It's hard enough getting space for people who are citizens and those who are here legally, let alone those who have no legal status.

Is it possible to have her escorted back to her home country?

NO.

I have a friend in a very sad situation. She requires 24hr care facility, but undocumented which means no Medicaid. No income. Early onset dementia. She has lived the US for the last 15 years. Is there any hope in finding her a nursing home facility in the DMV area? Are there any charitable organizations? TIA
