Anxious

Yes, I am feeling a bit anxious. I have taken a day off to help mom with her process to get Medicaid benefits. There are 2 meetings today, one with a DSHS social worker, and one with a representative from Providence about the PACE program. The PACE program is a medical program for seniors to help them stay in place, either in their home or assisted living community, and receive the care they need. It is completely covered by Medicaid in this state.

So, all this stuff requires lots of paperwork, and getting all the ducks in a row to prove that mom is eligible. I have no doubt that she is, but I will be relieved when everything is set up and working well for her.

Fingers crossed.
