By skyforbes My sister lives in Florida with our mom and takes care of her – scheduling and taking her to doctor’s appointments, keeping her on track with her meds, assistance with daily tasks, etc.
Mom is 78 and has multiple chronic medical problems. Her most recent issue is she is losing her vision (due to Diabetes and stroke). She is on Medicare and Medicaid. Sister also takes care of Dad, who lives one town over. He is an Air Force Veteran with some medical issues including a recent diagnosis of COPD.
I am aware of some Florida programs where my sister can receive payment from Medicaid for taking care of Mom (and maybe Dad too). BUT – my sister had a stroke 10 years ago and is on disability so I’m wondering if she would be eligible. Is there one place online to ask questions, find answers and figure out where to start applying for this if eligible? I'm not sure where to start to try and help them with this.
