Where to find medical assistance for my 70 yr old sister?

Besides SNAP (food stamps), you may be able to get monthly boxes of food called senior commodities and possibly coupons for the summer farmer's market near you. Try the Area Agency on Aging where you live, every county has one. Try going to several food banks....different churches have them, and none of them are meant to last you a whole month... For medical, get going on applying for Medicaid....you should be able to do that online. Also look into energy assistance program thru your utility companies. Once you get SNAP you are also eligible for a free cell phone or discount on your land line. Some cable companies also discount services to people who can show they are low income. Same goes for reduced public transportation on busses or taxi coupons. You may also qualify for subsidised housing. Does your area have 211 service where you can call 211 and get a ton of info on community resources? There is a lot of help out there when you really start to ask about it.

Absolutely follow Pam's advice and get on Medicaid.

One way to approach getting help is to call the Human Services department in your county and ask for needs assessment for your sister. The worker who comes out to find out what she needs will also know what kind of assistance is available. No doubt Medicaid will be one of the suggestions. Perhaps food stamps will be suggested.

Sometimes there is a backlog and a wait for Human Services appointments. The sooner you start the quicker it will happen!

Get on Medicaid. Sounds like you need it.
