How do I obtain my mother's "bank statements" from her Social Security deposits for purposes of applying for Medicaid NH coverage?

My mother suffered a devastating stroke. After a period of time in a special ICU, she was transferred to a NH/Rehab facility. Her Medicare coverage is expiring. The facility requires 3 months of "bank statements" from her SS direct deposits to her debit card in order to apply for the Medicaid coverage. Both the finance office in the NH and I have been unsuccessful in acquiring this information. Please, advise me on the most efficient way to obtain this data as fast as possible.

If you are named on your mom's bank statements, you can call the bank or go online to the account and get the statements. My mom and I took this step after my brother died years ago. I am the secondary on all of her accounts, and bills.

If you have not been granted POA by your mom, the NH may have to apply for emergency guardianship.
