Hope you are faring well. Sorry, I don't know about stuff so much these days - my parents were in WI and have been gone quite awhile.

But I did a little hunt & pecking and found some places that might be helpful.

I just remember my sis handled the financial stuff back then, but she contacted the facilities and they worked out the Medicare info and our folks were low income also. Dad went to a nursing home and Mom went to a Section 8 type apartment because she was still able bodied for quite a few years more.

Here's a few places that may be helpful.
