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.

I highly recommend consulting with Your Key to Senior Living Options. Lisa Honka and team provide a free service helping you navigate care for your mom. They can help you assess the resources needed and providers - in home care as well as assisted living - but only what you want - no pressure and free. Website: Yourkeytoseniorlivingoptions.com.
They offer seminars blog posts, newsletters , etc on helpful topics. Very dedicated folks. They helped one friend get a persistent Medicare issue resolved quickly after months of trying herself, just as one example.
Wish you the best in finding what you need!!
