Does Medicare and private insurance pay for these services?

My Mom can no longer care for herself , I need help with feeding, she has a problem with her esophagus, bathing, medicines, etc.

In home care is ordered by the MD, including Palliative care and/or Hospice. Talk to her doctor and see what he can set up. Also call your county or city office of the aging to see what is available.

Medicare and your supplemental should be covering the medications; Medicare will pay for a bath aide a couple of times a week but you'll need to obtain this through your mom's PCP; as far as feeding goes are you looking for thickener? There are thickener's available at Walmart but you'll pay out of pocket for them.
