Since Mom is deaf are there any federal or state benefits that would help pay for home health care? She doesn't qualify for Medicaid.

Cal, your local Dept of the Deaf. They may pay for an ear exam, audiology and aides if Gma falls into their criteria. The state also has prescription insurance. In NJ its called PADD. If Gma is on Medicare, Medicare pays 80% of what they feel is reasonable. What gma needs to find is an inexpensive supplimental. You could call Office of Aging and ask if they can help her maneuver the insurance.
