I have one week left to help my mother spend down so she can qualify for Medicaid. Any Ideas?
trying to tie moms money up to get her medicaid ready, it really sucks, her money is her security blanket! I have one week left to get it done! thats not alot, I am trying to get her to go beserk spending on all the things she wants, or has always wanted............I know she loves to paint, so we definetely will be going to the art store! we bought her clothes already, today an HD tv, that she can see, with a dvd player, not like the one she has which is ancient. Anyone have any ideas of what else we can get her??? Its so hard to reason with her about her spending down her money fast like this but thank god she understands why! after all is said and done she will have a total of 35.00 dollars a month to buy things for herself, that is pretty darn tight! It makes me so sad to have to do all this crap, so fast, just so the stupid government, will give her medcaid!!!! she keeps mentioning about buying me a new car, as mine is very old and on its last leg, but I dont want her to spend one dime on me!!! SHe has already helped me to the limit, and no way will I take one more cent from mom. I need ideas please! dont have time

If Dad was a veteran, be sure to check into VA survivor's Benefits, called Aids and Attendants Benefit - it's valid for the widow too, at lower amt monthly AND Medicaid Must Ignore it when qualifying her for that, so she can get both.
