Does anyone know about home health care for seniors?

My 80 yr old mother will shortly be undergoing surgery for which I believe she may need some in-home care afterwards. She has two kinds of insurance (Medicare and a supplement), with no assets to speak of. Does anyone know how I go about finding out what she might be entitled to vis-a-vis in-home care? I’ve read a bit online, but between long-term care, short-term care, home-health care, custodial care, palliative care, Medicare parts A,B,C, and D, and blah, blah, blah….you get the picture. And what if she needs care on a more regular basis, depending on how this all turns out? Overall, I feel like I’m in a bit over my head. Any guidance out there? And thanks for your answers.
long term care vs. Health insurance?

I’m the only son of my Parents and I am debating whether I should get long term care for my parents or get health insurance. What are the benefits of both? Also is NYL good? Last question is that if the Long term care proposal says that they will pay $300/day/person (2 people)for in-home care, would you be able to find a good nurse that would properly take care?
Is there anything I can do at home, to care for a punctured and bleeding eyeball?
