You should also be in touch with the local Area Agency on Aging. Go to the website for mom's municipality or county and find out who the contracted agency is. Call them and find out if there is low cost, free or sliding scale home health care help available.

Would her doctor write an order for some in-home care while she is recuperating? Did she have the option to go to a transitional care unit (rehab) when she was released from the hospital? It would seem to me that would be the best placement for her until she gets her strength back. I don't know how that works when you are not coming directly from a hospital, but I think I would explore that and see if it is an option.

Have you been to the doctor with your mom? I think now is a good time to get her/him in the loop about what is going on with your mom and what her needs are, long term.

Going forward, there are going to be more emergencies, more issues, more illnesses. It's a good time to take stock of whether it is best to move mom closer to you in California or you move to Texas.

Where ever she ends up, you need to get an application for Medicaid started, if she no longer has resources.
