Question : Is there any government support in the US for disabled adults with MS? Any way to pay for a nursing home?
My mom is 50 and has late stage MS, it is very hard for her to move around, and her life at this home usually consisted of laying in bed, eating, playing puzzle games on her laptop, and going to the bathroom.

A bit ago she went to live in her boyfriend’s home because it was easier to live in. Turns out recently he was looking at personals online…and he says her being around is stressing him out and raising his blood pressure or something.

So now, shes staying over at his house tonight but is coming home tomorrow. I have 16 credit hours at college and will be getting a job soon, so I cant be here all the time to take care of her to the degree that she needs. My sisters too work all the time and will be going to college to further their education, but it is still very difficult.

We are also selling this home soon because it is part of the divorce agreement…. My mom will get around 54 thousand once the house does sell, but we dont know when it will sell. while 54 thousand sounds like a lot, it cannot pay for a nursing home or a dedicated house attendant (assisted living probably woudlnt be enough).

Our family cannot afford to put her in a nursing home, and the conditions of her living at this house will be deplorable.

My question is, does anyone know of any government support that can be used to help in a situation like this? She makes next to no money. Ive heard of people getting paid to take care of their parents as a full time state-paid job, but when this house sells…where is she going to live? This situation just sucks and I cant find a way out of it.
