Probably something toward the AL costs ... that varies by state.
Also, if Mother needs them, Medicaid usually covers incontinence supplies, drug co-pays, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and some medical equipment not covered by Medicare. Often the co-pay on something Medicare covers in part.
Most likely your Mother will be assigned a Medicaid case worker who will meet with her (be there!) quarterly or every 6 months and go over her budget.
If Mother needs a higher level of care in the future, Medicaid will cover a nursing home (that accepts Medicaid.)
I am sorry that your mother needs Medicaid, but very glad she has qualified for it.
