[quote=Anonymous]People are giving you good advice on helping your mom. My advice is to talk with a financial planner. Your dad is only 75. He needs to protect some if their retirement funds for him to live on. It cannot all be used to pay for your moms care. It won't last long enough for you dad to continue to live his life. I heard recently that laws are changing but it used to be that once a spouse enters a nursing facility, the facility will take all the money leaving the healthy spouse with nothing. To circumvent that, many elderly people in your parents situation used to divorce. I don't know if this is still the case but it's worth talking to someone about. Your mom needs medical help but in doing so, make sure your dad is also protected. Good luck![/quote]
