I loved my mother from New York to North Carolina because she cannot live in her own.
I did a change of address for her with social security and medicaid, and despite her income readjusted because she lives in another state, her income still overqualifies her for the basic plan she has now. I feel like medicaid is giving me the run around because I feel like she can not get the medical care she needs because all I get is “Call this number”, “Call that number”whenever I call the agencies put in place to help. This is my first time caregiving and I need support. I don’t have any experience in this advocate / caregiver role. What do I do?
If this isn't possible you may need to resort to an Elder Law Attorney to help with assets, applications and options.
Otherwise it is, yes, call this number, that number and every other number.
Moving state to state presents huge problems as each state differs in its requirement for Medicaid.
Agree with calling the Area Agency on Aging.
Start the process on applying for medicaid and you will see different results.
Good look, dealing with any government agency is a trying situation at best.
