[quote=Anonymous]i let my parents live in their unsuitable house until things came to a head with worsening dementia. The local agency on aging/adult protective services got called by neighbors, they were taken in for an evaluation, and the state decided they couldn't live on their own anymore. once extracted from their house, it took me six months to get rid of the worst of the hoarding and put it on the market. closed in 40 days, and then I relocated them to a better private pay facility close to me. dad's passed, and i have enough proceeds left to cover mom for another year before I have to move her to a medicaid facility. believe me, i tried to get them to understand that they needed to downsize before the dementia got too bad, but there was no convincing them. they had to do it the hard way.[/quote]
