I'm having to take over the care of my mother who is under 65 but has had multiple strokes, confined to bed without someone picking her up to move her to a chair, has to have pillows to hold her upright because she would fall over. She has to wear a diaper, she also has high blood pressure with AFIB and is diabetic. My father can no longer take care of her since even though he can care for himself he is also disabled with back problems and since my mom's stroke he has also developed high blood pressure and is not taking care of his health. They both took early SSI which is their only income. I gave my father my old car which is the only reason he has one and his home which is in very bad condition was left to him when his mom passed. Last year, he took out a home equity loan to pay some medical bills.
This year, she was diagnosed with severe dementia and I applied her for Medicaid. She now gets that too.
