Your prompt
I am trying to understand what my parent may qualify for. We are in [Your State]. The situation: [The Situation]. Income and assets note, if relevant: [Income Or Assets Note]. Please: 1) explain in plain language what Medicare, Medicaid, and home and community based waivers generally cover and do not cover, and which of them my situation sounds closest to, 2) list what I would likely need to gather before applying, 3) give me the questions to ask, in order, 4) tell me clearly when I should stop and check with my state's Area Agency on Aging or an elder-law attorney instead of guessing. You are not giving legal advice and rules vary by state and change over time — say so, and tell me which points I must verify locally before acting.

Initials, not names.
Never paste full names, birthdates, ID numbers, account numbers, or addresses into an AI. Initials and ages work just as well.
It can be confidently wrong.
AI is a brilliant first draft and a terrible last word. Anything about medications, doses, benefits, or legal rights gets checked with a human professional before you act on it.
It's a helper, not a clinician.
None of this is medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not therapy or an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911, or 988 in the US for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
