My Mother has a Auxiliary Grant and I still can't find assisted living are a Nursing Home in the FRedericskburg va Area That will take her as soon as you say she is a Auxiliary Grant that's it. How Elsa can I help her ,she is in the Filmore House in Petersburg VA not a very nice place and so far away,I cant get there as often as i would like.
I am not sick. I do not have any chronic or non chronic illnesses. Medicare has made me a pauper. I get $2 more than disabled people on SSI who never worked and do not have to pay medicare premiums. I go to the free clinic in my city if I happen to have a cold or accident. I do not wish to have medicare premiums deducted from my benefit. Needless to say I did not prepare. Thats water under the bridge. I could really use that $123 dollars to buy food. Because of my benefit before the premium deduction, I do not qualify for welfare.
