Find Care & Housing
Jules, you said the board & care is $2000 a month? Has anyone brought up medi-cal? There is financial assistance for this. Medi-cal pays for LTC. Ask the rehab social worker/placement person to try to get her LTC medi-cal.

They keep telling me she doesn’t qualify. I was Also told Medi-cal doesn’t pay for Board and Care.

Jules, I'm so sorry you're in this situation. I read below that you buckled. You didn't need to. If APS was called they would have found placement for Mom, the only negative consequence for you would be that they would have obtained complete control (guardianship) and you wouldn't have any say in the matter. Which means they would have found a place or situation where Mom would have been cared for but it could have been 100 miles away and you wouldn't have a say. But that's it. You are not obligated if you are not able to care for her financially, physically or otherwise. You wouldn't be "charged" with anything, its not your legal responsibility like it is if you abandoned a child. There will be a next time. I wish you the best and hope you are able to manage.

Manage best you can over Christmas and then find an elder law attorney who specializes in Medicaid planning

Update: took my mom home yesterday after 8 Long days at my house.
I cleaned her apartment, got her groceries, labeled everything, setup her medications....wrote out lists, drink water, get up, use walker, take meds etc etc
Brought in a new Caretaker 4-6 hours a day.
Praying this solution will work as I have no other options.
