How should I handle my mother's finances with regard to her pension income and paying for her nursing home care?

Question from Anonymous Caring.com community member

My mom has been in a nursing home for almost 2yrs. They have yet to ask about her pension even after I mentioned it to them twice. Both times I was told not to worry about it at that time because she had a certain amount of time before that was considered. Her pension is direct deposit into her account (not being touched.) I have POA on account. I have switched over about 8000. to cover funeral costs of which I am making payments now. What next? Shouldn't the nursing home have realized this by now? She now has about 20,0000 in the account. Please advise I don't know what to do.
