[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your dad is finally hospitalized, have the social worker transfer him to the rehab facility that their medical benefits will pay for. Let your mom and dad know you will contribute your share of the money from your aunt's house and x dollars per month and put it in writing, along with a comparison of costs.

Had to to this for my parents. Having someone come into their home and look after them 24/7 cost twice as much as the most.expensive luxury care assisted living option available. Sounds like your dad is way too far gone for senior independent living.

I had to run the numbers, write them down for my parents, and then have a hissy fit to get them to take me seriously. Once your physical abilities are too far gone, there is no way you can stay in your own house unless you are a multimillionaire or a relative lives with you and takes care of you for free.

Maybe you would have more luck funding your sister, if she is ok with this sort of daunting challenge.[/quote]

Dad actually just needs help getting up out of a chair and out of bed. Once up, he can walk anywhere, without a walker. Right now, we are seeing if there's anything wrong with his kidneys or has a bladder infection. I won't contribute anything unless we are getting paid back out of the house sale when they pass. That's my only offer on the table financially. It has to be, otherwise they will destroy my nuclear family's financial stability.[/quote]
