Dear Advocate: My elderly mother recently went to a financial planning seminar and was pressured into buying a life insurance policy she didn’t need.
Dear Advocate: My mom recently passed away in a nursing home, and she left an outstanding balance. She didn’t own a home and only had about $2,000 in her bank account when she passed, nothing else.
Dear Advocate: My 84 year-old mother is in a nursing home. Every time I call the home and ask for my mother, the staff asks who I am and why I am calling.
Dear Advocate: My mom was receiving IHSS without any share of cost and had to be transferred into the nursing home during the pandemic.
Dear Advocate: I receive Medi-Cal with a share of cost. My income went up a little in 2020, but I never reported the change to Medi-Cal.
Dear Advocate: My father lives in a nursing home and recently became eligible for MediCal. We received the statement from Medi-Cal and it says his share of cost is more than he makes each month.
Both my parents are World War II veterans. My dad has Parkinson’s and my mom is in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s.
My mother is on Medi-Cal, and wants me to inherit her home after she dies without going through the time and expense of probate or trust administration.

Me and my family members are increasingly concerned about care and staffing problems at my mother’s skilled nursing facility during the pandemic.
