Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
There are clinics to help the indigent if that is the case. Is your mother a US Citizen? Contact the Area Agency on Aging for your county and ask for a needs analysis and help finding her care.
She must have Medicare unless she has never worked or had a husband that worked inbthe US. Depending on her income, she may qualify for Medicaid. Check with your Social Service office.
Is your mother on medicaid or medicare? Does your mother have assets? If this is emergent situation (symptoms of stroke, etc) your Mom should go to the ER.They can settle later any billing.If she has no funds then they can bill her until H___ freezes over. If she has to go to hospital then a social worker can help you with the whole insurance thing. Are you her POA? Does she have a regular doctor? So many questions for you, so do know if will help us answer or give you ideas on what to do if you give us more details. I sure wish you good luck.
Get her insurance sorted out before she sees the doctor.
You will be hit with higher premiums if you don't. I know that Medicare supplemental can charge higher premiums if the person let their coverage lapse for non payment.
Take one problem at a time in order of priority or you will soon burn yourself out. Right now, getting her insurance is the most important thing you can do for her future care. Unless she is filthy rich and can afford to self pay for the medical industry.
If she doesn't have Medicare, she sould be signed up for MEDICAID--a different animal.
And you need to check to see if said Dr. accepts MEDICAID patients. Many take some, but up to a certain point. They would be out of business if they took all the Medicaid pts that need help.
My SIL is a Dr. and he has a limit of Medicaid pts he is allowed to carry. For a workup visit, which would cost over $350, he gets paid $18 for a Medicaid pt. Work the math, the hospital for which he works is OK with a certain amount of 'poverty patients' but bottom line--they have to make money.
And alternative would be taking mom to a teaching hospital. They are not-for-profit, and do take more Medicaid pts.
(And it's spelled 'neurologist'--not to put you down, it's a hard to spell word, but you need to be looking for a Dr. with the proper terminology)
