I have stopped working, relocated myself and my mother to NH so I can help and assist my mother. She is 82, on oxygen and fragile. With my help she lives a very comfortable life and able to get out to all her Dr. appts. go shopping etc.. The only other choice is assisted living home and the resources aren't there for a nice place and she really doesn't want to do it.
Since I quit work there is no unemployment and I have lost my medical insurance/benefits recently. She makes just enough from social security and retirement and we are always looking to save money. The savings for Medicare vs Assisted living home must huge.
My question is... are there any funds, grants or medicare monies available for doing what I am doing?
