Adjusting well. Eating in dining room, going to activities on her own. Hasn’t asked when she will go home.


LTC asked for, and I used, Moms $ for 2 weeks payment, pre-Medicaid application. Met with elder care lawyer who said her pay down is $8K, not $2K because her SS is below a certain amount. Have the online app started and expect to finish this weekend. Lawyer expects denial because of reverse mortgage. Medicaid will give a number for the spend down.

Hi Bandy, thanks for commenting! I am sooooo relieved and it is almost unbelievable to me how things have turned out. There wasn’t much hope in me for a good outcome, based on the last several years. I can’t wait to hit the ‘submit’ button on the Medicaid app! Feels like an albatross around my neck.

No pats on the back, but happy to visit our son & ‘new’ DIL in Florida.

Barb - I’m just so thankful she’s in a safe, clean NH and there are sooo many caring folks there! AND it’s only 12-minutes from us.

I had visited two homes, each 35 minutes away and was mentally prepared to choose one. But one was NOT a good fit and the other was just okay. Luckily, my cousin, a geri-psych hospital nurse, asked their social worker who suggested the NH mom is in now.

Truly treasuring this newfound peace, for sure! ❤️❤️❤️

lealonnie1 - it really is!

The APS worker called to check in and is amazed at all that has been accomplished. Almost dumbfounded that Mom and I TALK to each other numerous times a week AND that her angst towards me seems to have disappeared. She said mom was this close to guardianship . . .
