She is 98 years old and in an assisting living and they don't have enough to pay for all of the assisting living bill because they have to pay for the above items.
She has congested heart failure, AFIB, High Blood Pressure, Had a stroke in 2008, Fell in 2015 and broke her hip and had to have a Valvuloplasty heart procedure before her hip could be replaced because of not enough blood flow going to hip area to replace hip. They want to do a TAVR on her because of her Calcified Aortic Valve and she is afraid to have it done. She can not walk now and her left foot turns inward toward her other foot since the hip surgery. She trys to help them transfer her to the toilet and into bed by pivoting slowly with her feet while they hold her up.
Her income you see from SS and VA is not enough to even pay for her Assisted Living payment and that leaves her without $$ for the amount needed at Assisted living and leaves her without the $$ for insurance and medicines but you can't explain it that way on their forms. Her SS check and VA check does go over the amount required for applying for Medicaid.
Thank you for mentioning a Miller Plan, I've never heard of that. She is in South Carolina.
