[quote=Anonymous]If it's not too late, do not allow the hospital to release him to home. He cannot care for himself and doesn't have reliable care (because sometimes they don't show up). They will find a bed for him in a rehab hospital. He will spend down his $$ until he qualifies for medicare. Hard for DH to hear, but get a geriatric social worker to help deliver the message, as he has emotions tied in that you do not. Do not risk your current life/your child future for your FILs end of life. There is a saying, 90% of healthcare costs are in the last 10% of life. It's true. This is why you save for retirement: your kids can borrow for college (hopefully not too much), but you cannot borrow for retirement.[/quote]
