Since starting this thread I got a call from someone from the local nonprofit agency for elder citizens or whatever, blah, blah. She plugged in my numbers and confirmed that I am eligible for NOTHING. There is a years long wait list for senior housing in my area...and basically no other affordable housing. She is going to try to send me some gift coupons to local supermarkets. That's it. She said she could not give me her personal opinion...but then she went kind of off-record and did. She said pray, and move. Because she said if she were in my shoes she would move to be closer to her son.

She told me that basically all the assistance programs are under Medicaid..and since I am not eligible for Medicaid...there is basically no assistance.

She also gave me the number of something called Elder Locator...to help me with the move.


She put me on "the top" of her prayer list
