[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, that’s definitely not early stages unfortunately. I agree to always check for a UTI any time there’s a steep step down. Get all the account information and all insurance policies gathered in one place. Buckle up. [/quote] Yes, I know that is probably true. He recently had a hospital stay which included a UTI, and is why there is part time help. We’re having a conversation this weekend in part to gather this information and hopefully really get the spouse on board. Residential care will be an extremely hard sell but might be able to convince full time in home care [/quote] Why is the spouse not on board? Are they afraid it will drain their savings? [/quote] I think that’s part of it, but more denial, afraid of their own mortality, loss of quality of life. Wife is nearly a decade younger. There are significant assets including 2 paid off properties and lots of cash/investments[/quote]
