Mrs. Bear, I would also look into Medicaid or Medical for Wes as that pays for much more than Medicare. Medicare when I got SS had a waiting period of 2 years. Wes should qualify for disability from Social Services while waiting for SS and Social Services could give him Medicaid. My mother-in-law's oldes son live with her and gets Medicaid. Medicaid will also pay for adult homes with a grant from the goverment.

Best wishes with your endeavor.
