My dad was just informed that he is legally blind. What does he receive in Medicare to help him?

Thank You Carol, I am looking into that and the Masons have him on their waiting list at Masonicare...

Try going to www.medicare.gov/caregivers. Ask Medicare has a lot of information on specific illnesses. If he has few assets, he may qualify for Medicaid. If he has assets, he may have to pay for any help he requires. Not every state is the same however. Some states have other assistance, so please go to his state website and type "aging" in the search box. Look for links that can be helpful, including the National Family Caregiver Support Program.
Good luck,
Carol
