[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the examples above, however, have people to assist. Even from a distance or with reluctance. The OP concerns people who have no one, literally. I'm not sure the answer other than 1) have money and 2) make plans in advance. But sometimes neither of these things happen (e.g., sudden stroke or health issue, you have no money). [/quote] I think in this case the person is assigned a guardian by the state and whatever assets there are are depleted until Medicaid kicks in and the person is put in a Medicaid home. A scary prospect. [/quote] Yes, and if they are still living in their home, the state will sell the home to cover the costs for legal etc. My family members have been terrible about putting plans in place, just letting things happen as they happen and making it pretty stressful for those that step in to help.
