[WI] Urgent help needed: Dad retired, mom isn't eligible for Medicaid, charged $300/day for care

Hi all, thanks for reading. Trying to quickly get caught up with Medicaid and healthcare options, so any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Mom lives in an assisted-living facility due to MS, and needs 16 hours a day of care. The home charges $300/day for this care, which was previously covered by Medicaid. I'm not entirely sure how she qualified for Medicaid before while my dad was working, but something has changed now that he's retired and has access to his annuity/IRA - there's technically too much in the account now to qualify for Medicaid, but it's nowhere near enough to sustain paying for this assisted living facility at $8k/month.

Are there any other avenues we could look at to solve this? It's way too much money to feasibly afford out of pocket. They're looking at divorce as an option. Not sure if switching to Medicare is a possibility, or if any other state/federal assistance programs could help with this.
