My 93-year-old mother needs financial assistance to stay at home or move into assisted living. She is $30 over the medicaid limit per month. What can we do?

That sounds so lame have you been to an elder lawyer -tell medicaide she needs lotion for her dry skin and polident for her dentures that will take care of the 30 dollers-have you applied for medicaide and been turned down -in my state medicaide can be used for home care. If you have an Office for the aging in your area ask if they have a elder lawyer who give his time free of charge to help out people -my lawyer gives one day a week at the office free of charge-get someone to help with the application -it takes a while to get it done and let them worry about the 30 dollars a month-good luck if she were to go into a nursing home the social worker would do most of the paperwork on the application-let us know how things go it is good to share information. My husband died before I got the paperwork done -and I did try to do it myself which was so stupid of me it drove me crazy.
