Assisted Living

It's cheaper to book them on cruises and let them live out their lives touring the world.

You are a genius Bob! The cruise idea, is the latest in senior living care. Nuts but fun!

Not a silly question at all. $5K is a ton of money to me as well. We have some $$ from the sale of her house, but it's not going to last very long. Apparently you have to be damn near broke before receiving any financial assistance. Unreal.

And like in my mom's case, the house that she sold for a nice profit financed her stay in the nursing home. Every month, her private assets were chipped away another $5K. Drip, drip, drip. Gone, or almost gone.

We were really lucky, though. She had money to pay for her stay, and when we (the family) had our ducks in a row, we were able to bring her home to my sisters' home where she was taken care of, primarily, by this sister, but by all of us sisters, until the day that she died.

With the rules being what they are, my mom's life savings was taken to pay for her stay in the nursing home, and for her resulting care.

People like you are so special! Your mother is the one who was blessed to have kids like you all. I wish I had a sister to help me when I was caring for my Mom. You rock!

I wish I had a sister to help me too!!!!!!!!! I do have one, but she's not in Maryland and is no help at all.
