My mom is 88 years old, she has dementia which has gotten considerably worse during the last couple of months. I am her only child and work full time. Mom has on apartment on the side of my house. Mom is on a limited income, $920 a month social security check. Can you give some information as to how I go about finding out if she qualifies for a caregiver to come during the day. Is my first step to try to get mom on Medicaid? (She is on a Medicare Advantage Plan as of now). Where is the Medicaid office on Staten Island? I am overwhelmed, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Maria A.

I'm in Atlanta GA, the only thing I have been able to find is palliative care, which means she will be kept comfortable, but no "cures" will be used. It's a lot like hospice care. If anyone knows of anything better in Atlanta, I'm drowning here.
