[quote=Anonymous]13 years ago my FIL died.  My BIL moved my MIL to a luxury retirement facility.  MIL burned through about 1/2 million in assets over about 5 years.  BIL starting giving her $5K a month to cover her costs.  5 more years pass and BIL asks us to contribute. We now contribute $2K a month to his $3K.

The reason I am annoyed at BIL is his elder care mgt plan for his mom was based on the assumption that she would die in a few years so why not have her in the nicest place around.

Elder care plans can not based on the elder's timely death.  Such a rookie move.  But I am only the wife of middle brother, so have kept quiet and tried to help.

MIL called tonight and is asking for more care.  But she is very specific and wants a private aide to be with her almost 24/7.

We can't afford that.

Her luxury facility has aides available for hire which we have done but it never seems to work.  Not sure if it's that the aides don't show up or if MIL just forgets that they did show up.  Super annoying.

I'm thinking of trying again with the facility aides.  Any other ideas or experiences to share?
