You can go to the VA website & look up their Aid & Attendance program requirements. I know the application for A&A is on the website as I printed it out for a patient’s wife for her to complete. It’s a complicated application Her husband was in the Korean & Vietnam wars. The person was rejected for A&A because they have assets (his pension, a home) thus don’t meet the requirements. Worried is correct about if mbr was divorced from that spouse she isn’t entitled to VA benefits.’
VA Nursing homes often have longer waiting lists than civilian NHs, thus you may want to keep that in mind if he was approved for A&A.
Was she divorced from your father? Because your profile mentions your dad and step dad. If your parents were divorced then your mom isn’t eligible for VA benefits.
You'll need to contact a local County VA office, a VA hospital, or a state VA agency. They can advise you which of their forms are required, but you'll also have to have your father's DD 214. If you don't have it, the staff at any of the VA offices can tell you where to get it.

If you have trouble getting there, do a search on "Columbus, Ohio VA".
Another option is to contact a service group such as the American Legion. I believe the VFW offers that kind of help as well.
It will also help to familiarize yourself with the extensive information available on the VA website.
But the first thing you should is edit your profile to remove your e-mail and phone number. NEVER EVER put that kind of personal information on a public website. There are a lot of lunatics as well as scammers and crooks who prowl around and find ways to steal information.
