I replied below but really she needs to go somewhere where someone else can take care of her. I’m trying to figure out what kind of options someone who has no income and no ability to take care of herself has

She has really bad mental health problems and also some kind of undiagnosed gastritis that has put her in and out of the hospital. Doctors haven’t been able to figure it out either. She doesn’t have cancer somehow considering she has abused alcohol and nicotine most of her life. She keeps vaping which I think is the main reason she keeps having her stomach issues. Also she has been admitted to mental health institutions a bunch of times and always says the right things to get out and get the psychiatrist to deem her not a risk.
She’s basically content to sit in her apartment and watch tv and order food (if she can even eat due to the stomach problems). She has difficulty even paying her bills on time because she just tells us “I’ll get to it later, I’m too tired today”. If my fiancé and I did not exist she would probably waste away in her apartment until she ran out of money. That’s why I’m trying to figure out somewhere she can go where someone can take care of her, which I know is not typical because she isn’t like old and demented. She is just totally dependent

How would I get her a social worker? Also she’s not on Medicaid yet, we were going to get her to apply for that this week
