Resolved Question: Is the Crosley stereo system any good?

I like the looks of it. I am not sure if I can get a better sounding stereo system for the money. I am thinking of taking it to a few nursing homes and assisted living facilities to play music for retired people. I have some old records of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, old Jazz records, and I was going to take it to play for the older folks.
I like the old fashioned look to this system and the wood looks fantastic.
This looks like Crosley's top of the line stereo system. It includes a turntable

Resolved Question: I want to buy my mother's house, how does Medicaid determine fair market value?

Four months ago, my mother moved into an assisted living facility. I what to buy her house and use it as a rental property. In 2 ½ years her savings will be depleted and she will apply for Medicaid. (House is paid off)
How does Medicaid determine fair market value? Especially when the market is all over the place. The CMA price is $43,000 but houses in this zip are being sold from $10,000 - $150,000. Most are selling under $50,000.
As an example, within 9 months, on her block one house sold

Resolved Question: Where do I begin the process of finding assisted living for my mother?

She can no longer live alone. She falls all the time and has to wait for someone to come to help her up. It's heartbreaking. She can't remember to keep a cell phone with her to call for help, either.
Is it possible any of her life insurance policies provide any benefits for these type of facilities?
How do I get an unbiased opinion of a good facility?
I live in another state and I find this so overwhelming but I have to find a way to help her. She has someone come in to help her now,
