How can you find an agency in California, SS, or Medicare to pay for colostomy bags and diapers for dementia women?

She has been put in Board and Care facility (nursing home is next) The colostomy bags are very expensive. After her care is paid at facility she only has $36.00 left. Isn't here help out there for the elderly? We are having our own financial problems and it seems like a no win situation. You try to find information and you get looped into a circle of go here go there give us your phone number, give us this and that when all you want is just a simple answer.
