My 80 yr old mother will shortly be undergoing surgery for which I believe she may need some in-home care afterwards. She has two kinds of insurance (Medicare and a supplement), with no assets to speak of. Does anyone know how I go about finding out what she might be entitled to vis-a-vis in-home care? I've read a bit online, but between long-term care, short-term care, home-health care, custodial care, palliative care, Medicare parts A,B,C, and D, and blah, blah, blah....you get the picture. And what if she needs care on a more regular basis, depending on how this all turns out? Overall, I feel like I'm in a bit over my head. Any guidance out there? And thanks for your answers.
