[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of relatives who only have social security but live in a low cost of living area. Several sold their homes (worth like 100k) and bought into a nursing home. They started off in a cottage but gradually moved into more care and finally they were just in a Medicaid bed on the top floor. Another currently is in low income housing that takes his social security. He gets meals and help with meds but not constant around the clock care. Most move in with relatives. Social security really isn’t bad if you’re in a low cost of living area and especially if your house is paid off. I have an aunt who was in a Medicaid only nursing home and it was ugly. 3 beds to a room, food was awful (like boiled chicken with applesauce), minimal activities. She got a dresser and that was basically it. Everything she owned was stolen nonstop. We bought her slippers almost weekly. [/quote]
