Question
I am trying to find out if Medicare or any other resorces are available to help with the cost of assisted living? My Mother's doctor has suggested she move to an assisted living facility and she has no assets. We live in Indianapolis. IN., and don't know where to look.

Answer
A great place to start the search is a Web site called BenefitsCheckup.org. This site can help you figure out which local, regional, and national programs may be available to help your mother with her bills.
Barbara Steinberg, one of our finance experts, answered a similar question a few weeks ago. Her advice: Check out your state's Medicaid requirements to see if your parent qualifies for Medicaid nursing home assistance.
