My mom will need a few months of care after several surgeries and we need to apply for Medicaid. Does she still lose SSI income and her primary residence with small equity? She will not need to live in a nursing home for long term, just need a few months of care before she can come back to home. What should I do? Please help. Tom
Medicare will pay 20 days if she is making progress in therapy. They will partial pay for days 21- 100. Many secondary/Medigap policys will pay the difference.
Have you discussed all this with the discharge department at the hospital?
