Actually, you may have more options than you know.

You can still pick up a resource guide if you want. They include resources for people who *do not* have Medicare or Medicaid, as well.

The local senior organization I listed above (for instance) helps people who are not fifty-five or older or disabled. Your local senior center could lead you to services that fit your situation.

I have phoned their social worker several times and she was helpful giving me information about housing choices, for instance. I didn’t have to go in (although I could have). I didn’t have to fill out paperwork. This social worker was happy to do what she knew how to do to help answer my questions.

Do what you want but I don’t see a downside into looking into some of these resources.

I find I’m much less anxious and depressed about a problem or situation when I have some sort of plan to problem-solve it. Hope it will be the same for you.
