My mom was always middle income. She receives SSI and Pension, my dad is deceased. Although she has month in a money market account, I have tried to "do the math" to see how if there is enough money for private paying aides. I am concerned if the Medicaid aides will be better or equal to the aides I have now being privately paid. Has anyone had good luck with Community Medicaid - I am afraid there will be a lot of red-tape and confusion what is allowed or not. I live in NYS.
I'm not sure about the "quality" or even turn-over of private aids vs. Medicaid-supplied ones, but others on this forum probably have lots of good insights. I would check to make sure what happens on NYS Medicaid when your mom requires more than part-time caregivers. You don't want to get an ugly surprise.
