My 92 year old father is on Medicaid/ ssi/ Medicare b- how can I find resources or assisted living for him in Chicago? He is also on palliative care. I am his 24/7 only family caregiver. I know this has been asked a zillion times. I am new here. Thanks for listening
The reason I ask is that it is possible that the Hospice Social Worker could get him into a facility faster than what it might take normally. (facilities see Hospice and they assume that this would not be a long-term resident)
2. Check some of the resources that might be available through the City (I think 311 is the number you can call)
3. There is a Resource Directory put out by Elderwerks that has a lot of information. Call toll free 855-462-0100 or you can look on line for the resource book Elderwerks.org. They are a NOT for Profit organization. The information and referrals are free.
4. If he is a Veteran contact the Veterans Assistance Commission and see if he is eligible for any services from the VA.
