We're looking into the VA assistance for my mom's care, but it's not enough to cover the facility she's wanting to go to. Does anyone know of a resource where I can search for other financial assistance options? I'm at a total loss as to what to do.

If she is relatively close in income between what she already has and the potential VA funds, you may be able to talk to the ALF and ask if they would accept what she can pay.Their goal is to keep rooms filled. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I am assuming the facility is private pay (no Medicaid). The options are to find a facility that accepts Medicaid or find the funds. Maybe a financial planner could look at the big picture and give you some helpful suggestions. Many on this site are in the same position, we cannot find acceptable care for our parents within their and our financial limitations. Good luck.
