How to help someone who is caring for their mom who has dementia. The Mom does not speak English, has no health insurance and is a new immigrant to the USA. The Mom is living with her daughter and the dementia symptoms are getting worse. The burn out is extreme for the daughter. My heart aches to help her. I often visit to help alleviate her problems.

Medicaid is a possibility. It is complicated to apply, so it keeps getting put off.

Any suggestions? Thank you.
