By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

High income is very real LTC Medicaid problem as a lot of folks over the $2742 individual income max that most States have set for “at need”. Lots of retirees getting max SSA retirement which is abt $3,600.
It is exactly as Geaton posted on being specific to your State as to what can be done. Medicaid is administered uniquely by each State but under overall federal guidelines.
Out of curiosity, is she RRRB? And that seems to be the issue as nobody seems to understand it? We had that in my hubs family, railroad is a slightly different creature to deal with.
Regarding her creating a PoA, you will need to either take her to an elder law attorney who will interview her to determine capacity to create such a document. If so, then she can proceed to create it and finalize it.
The other option is to download a PoA document from a trusted source like Legalzoom.com or Rocketlawyer.com. It is much less expensive and they have lawyers to confer with through the process (online). You will still need to finalize the document per what her state requires (usually having it notarized in front of 2 non-family witnesses). Make sure to make 2 original copies: one for your Mom and one for the PoA. This is how my own Mom created her DPoA, but I only recommend it if there is no possibility of someone contesting the PoA. My Mom is single and I'm an only child, so it works in her case.
You need to know her state's specific regs for Medicaid qualification. Is the trust a pooled income trust?
