I called her medicare and they said no. But they do provide up to 32 hours a week for medical care.

I know we can hire someone to provide these services but it comes out of her savings or we kids pay.

Does anyone know if such a program is real?

So far every home health care company I called said there is no such thing.
Ask Medicare about Adult Family Care - It is a program that helps keep elderly or disable persons in their home but it is dependent on their personal finances and assets.
