Thank you both for your kind words. First, unfortunately I make $85 a month too much in social security to qualify for Medicaid. Yes, Medicaid would pay for a denture but unfortunately it has to come out of my own pocket. A good, well fitting denture will cost me about $1200. I do have dental insurance that will pay 50% of what the denture costs, up to a limit. Sure I could get one for $400 but it probably won't fit well. And I'm sensitive to things in my mouth. I'm waiting for my next stimulus check to cover that. Word is we'll get one about the end of July. I'm trying to consider moving into senior housing locally or in my hometown. That will cost me about $413 a month. Currently the personal care home manages my meds, does my laundry, cleans my room, and serves meals, but as I mentioned, right now I need to buy my own food that I can chew with my gums. I always managed my own meds before I moved here, and did my own laundry, so I don't have a problem with that. It upsets me that I had an apt full of furniture, including a bed I'd only bought 6 weeks before, a Sealy Posturepedic that was wonderful, and now I have to start all over. Alone. Unfortunately in this town there are not "a multitude of resources". I would like to move back to my hometown, 200 miles away, which is a larger city and there are alot of resources. The problem is getting there. The ride is through various back roads in the mountains, there is no direct route. But it's the only way. From the first day, I've hated living in this personal care home and feel like I can't wait to get out. But getting myself motivated to take all these steps means I have to get out of my depression somehow. I feel stuck in this prison. I have no family or friends in this area, which makes it harder. I will keep posting here because I need all the help and hope I can get. I have a therapist who is somewhat, but not alot, familiar with local resources and of course not at all with those in my hometown. I may contact the Agency on Aging in my hometown, maybe they can be of some help. My hometown offers alot of help to seniors, something that my current location doesn't.
