Bfils, That's very kind of you. If no one here can get them from you, I'm sure some Senior Centers in your area would love to share them.
Sorry for your loss, job well done.

Contact your local ADRC or AAA (Aging Disability Resource Center or Area Agency on Aging) their should be a Family Caregiver Grant, this grant is typically used to provide respite but can be used for whatever is necessary to keep the client in the home as long as possible, i.e. incontinence supplies. The grant is often very small but any help is useful. Also be sure you have explored all options with your area's medicaid programs, such as CLTC (community long term care) which often have much higher income limits and are based on a patients ability to care for themselves. Again your ADRC or AAA will be most knowledgeable about your area's programs. Should you need assistance locating your ADRC or AAA.

lynnann15, call your county's Social Services, explain your role, and ask for an intake interview or a needs evaluation for your aunt. These people are experts on what is available through the county and also on other resources in your community. It is a great starting point.

My husband's incontinence supplies are provided through one of the programs he is on. I just call when we're getting low, and they send out a case. He is on Medicaid and Elderly Waiver, and frankly I'm not sure what program provides this. We do pay a fairly large "spend down" each month, because his SS check is relatively large. I would never have found my way to all the services we now receive if I hadn't started with Social Services. Good luck!

If you are eligible for medicaid (not medicare) these supplies will be provided free of charge. Hospice will also provide them if you are enrolled

I haven't found any organization in NYC to help pay for incontinence products. But I have found that I can save some money by buying in bulk over the internet, and since the cost includes delivery,I save time, and for some items I can set up an automatic reorder process. Saving more money would be a bigger help; but anything that helps me keep track of ordering supplies and that saves me time going to the store is a help. I order through the Allegro medical supply web site, but there may be others that offer better prices.

One would think that's a medical necessity in your situation, but SSI often doesn't cover things that aren't prescribed. In some states Medicaid will pay for these supplies, but like so many things with Medicaid, it depends on where you live. Have you talked with your doctor about this? Maybe there's a way to word this so that you can get some help with the expenses.
Please let us know if you can find any help. Others one the forum here have had success, but not everyone. Good luck to you,
Carol

Roseanne contact your local not for profit hospice. They will usually be glad to accept new non opened packets of supplies. You could also put an ad in your local penny saver and i am sure someone would appreciate them. Craig's list is also an option.
