My elderly, chronically ill mother is a dual US/Australian citizen living in New York City where she has no family, and due to current health is unable to fly to Australia where she has family. I don't live in the US, nor am I a citizen, so cannot spend an extended period there helping her. What are the options for her in the US (including NY and other states)? She lives in Manhattan, and I'd say her finances put her in the upper middle class bracket. She's been paying for in-home care (meal preparation, supervision while bathing, etc) for the past year, but this cannot continue forever. Each time she looks like recovering enough to fly back to Australia, she has another health setback. I'm looking for medium term options (up to 12 months) as well as long term options (12+ months).
