Care at home is very expensive. Why can't mom go into a skilled nursing facility?

If mom is not independently wealthy, she needs to be in a nursing home with that laundry list of health problems.

Yes, perhaps an SNF with this level of skin deterioration.

I don't believe that you can get said help at home.
I don't think that this care should be attempted at home.
I think that if your Mom was in a in-facility hospice that their social workers should now do discharge planning to a FACILITY, not to YOUR home.

Quite frankly, with that laundry list of ailments, she should probably be in hospice.

I don't understand why they are discharging her.

Sadly you won't be able to find "affordable home care" for your mom. But in all reality your mom shouldn't being going to anyone's home anyway with all the issues she has. She needs to placed in a skilled nursing facility and hospice can help you with that.
And of course if money is an issue you can apply for Medicaid for her.
And I would perhaps check with another hospice agency in your area and see if she might qualify with them. I know in the city I live in we have access to at least 5 different hospice agencies that service our city.
The fact that your mom is almost 100 alone should qualify her, and then you add all her other issues and to me it's a no brainer.
Best wishes in bringing another hospice agency on board and finding placement for your mom.

She has too much wrong with her to be under home care. If she does not have the money, apply for Medicaid and place her in a nursing home.

No one will be able to care for her properly at home.

I wish you the best.
