So, I have had Medicare for years, as most of us have, I presume. Now, I will start the process to get Medicaid. I do qualify. Just have to get the appropriate paperwork together and filled out. Going Monday to my county, Dept of Social Services to get the appropriate paperwork together.
Then to fill it out. I know I will get better services. A big one, for me at least, I will qualify for a Home health aide. Someone to help me with my showering and personal care. I have a shower chair, inside a bath tub. No walk in shower as my bath tub is not accessible.
Thing is, since my last hip surgery, it is harder for me to get both legs up into the tub without a helping hand. So I am figuring 2-3 days a week for the extra in shower help
Hope it is not too much of a hassle, though some of the seniors here have said they will help me and look over my forms to assure I have filled them out correctly
