What is the name of your state? NY
Hi there, heres situation will take all legal advice possible.
my elderly mom has now been in and out of hospitals and in two rehabs now for almost 5 months. Currently residing in a nursing home in sayville,ny that has cut her physical therapy deeming her as a lost cause not doing anything else for her but start billing her this thursday june 30th because short term medicare was cancelled because she isnt walking they are ignoring the fact she has fear of falling syndrome therefore is terrified to stand up and always thinks she is falling. they use a hoist to get her into a wheelchair from bed which now they say why bother and leave her in bed. Mom is disabled and due to trauma has cognitive issues and while they offer neurological services they refuse to do anything even when insurance was covering it. their house dr lives in manorville and only comes in the nursing home 1x every few weeks and doesnt call us.
we think she might be eligible for medicaid for 6 months only but have no idea why, yes she has a coop apartment that she plans to return home to and wishes to die in when time comes, her only bank account consists of $3000 inheritance for her grandchildren, her $990 social security check and her $347 disability payment.
if i understand how medicaid works they seize her bank account, they will take money from it leaving her $500 month to pay her maintenance of $1000 and live with no electric, tv or food and now if the co-op is considered an asset she is not eligible for medicaid and if its real property she isnt eligible because of income so we have no idea what we can do to get her into a nursing home as living home is too dangerous for her right now and we cant afford the $736 a day they are billing her and it will only be a short amount of time before a lien goes on co-op and money is drained from it and mom cant pay for anything.
any help is welcome and needed as i cant afford to pay an attorney myself
