[QUOTE="DDD, post: 103505, member: 35"] As a working poor senior citizen I can relate. It is not a pretty picture. Does she own her home? If she sells her home to reach the asset level required (if it is similar to Florida) she will be able to transition once her up front money is gone. My neighbor asked me to be her personal representative about six years ago and that is how it worked. I sold her home, sold her extra personal items and paid for her care as a private patient until her money was "almost" gone...then I had to go to the HRS office and attest to her upcoming poverty, which then made her eligible for government assistance. She was so worried that "people would know" (including her roommate) and not a soul other than office personnel knew she had moved from private to government. I'm not sure which is worse...aging or the alternative. Good luck and caring thoughts coming your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
