My mother with severe dementia makes too much to qualify for Medicaid or ANY other type of gov. assistance. She's on Medicare, but it does not cover squat and we cannot afford a nursing home. I'm the only person to take care of her and am disabled myself. I'm getting caregiver burnout. Not to mention multiple other issues due to this. I need help, but how?
This isn’t a solution as you need more help than this but it is something that can get started right away while you work through applying for Medicaid etc.
Do you live with mom in her home or yours? personally I would use a certified elder attorney to discuss both your situations but in your area you may find great help with a social worker.
