[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, what their kids are right about -- the elders need to leave NoVa. NoVa is just too expensive.[/quote]

Op here.  They’re actually in NY, but yes, the same principle applies.

I appreciate the references to military facilities.  Looks like most of those would require him to qualify for independent living at time of entrance, which he wouldn’t at this point.  The rehab facility believes he’d qualify for assisted living at discharge.

There are things going on with my cousins that I don’t understand.  My NJ cousin is working with a lawyer to somehow shelter their assets/income so they qualify for Medicaid.  They want them out in Ohio asap and have my aunt live with her daughter and my uncle in skilled nursing rather than AL.   It breaks my heart.  It’s a significantly lower quality of life than what they’d have living together in assisted living, whether that was in NY or OH.  My aunt is being put under tremendous pressure to agree to the move without them explaining what she’s agreeing to or what the options really are.

There are family dynamics at play that I can’t deal with.  I wish my aunt were more like the stubborn elderly people that others post about.  Instead she’s trying to make everyone else happy at a time of her life when she should be prioritizing herself.  [/quote]
