No, Medicare does not pay for any type of caregiver. Its a health insurance.

Sounds to me you feel guilty for Mom being in a NH. Being a double amputee I will assume she is a diabetic so her health is not your fault. I think Mom is much better where she is. Diabetes can be very hard to regulate. Wounds don't heal in the legs because there is no circulation. They need to be cared for by a special woundcare nurse who can see a problem before it gets worse.

Just be there for Mom. Don't be down, be up.

No Medicare does not. Are you thinking of bringing your mother home out of the nursing home? A double amputee, as you describe her in your profile, might be too much for you to handle. Did Adult Protective Services step in before? Perhaps you should leave her where she is now. If you are upset maybe some counseling would help you out,
