I was trying to find some help for Josey Wales, and I came upon this site that has links for all states. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone. It also has links to medicaid and non medicaid programs in all states, as well as other programs. You may not need to be a senior to receive benefits if the patient has a brain disease, so if you are dealing with early onset, don't dismiss this. For some reason the site does not have an internet address that can be copied as a link. But you can do a Google search for "Financial Aid & Care Resources for Long Term Senior Care", and you will find it after the ads that appear in the results.

    Thank you so much for this, Ed. This looks like a related link: https://www.payingforseniorcare.com/resources

    Thankfully I am not yet in that situation but have been thinking about what resources may be available.

    Ed - Thanks for posting these sites and for caring enough about me to start researching them with me in mind.  I'm poked around the one you mentioned, and I see several topics I'm going to look at in more depth. Today I'm feeling a bit more like I can control things, and information always helps me with that.
