[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, she will need to spend down her assets and then qualify for help that way. You and dh should not risk your kids college funds or retirement. Help her look into qualifying for Medicaid. [/quote] OP here- thank you. Yes, this is the reasonable answer. I tried to have a conversation with her last night about her wishes, planning, living situation and it deteriorated quickly with her saying some things, and me saying some things... She already has anxiety and some toxic personality traits that I expect to get worse with age. Aside from the logistics and finances, she's within her rights to refuse help that she needs -- I'm seeing that play out with other family members and it's a living nightmare for their kids. [/quote]
