[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what it is with the elderly/severely disabled (and their kids) not wanting to be put in a facility. And yes they’re generally awful (and will likely get worse with this administration and PE) but hopefully you have more money and can get into the “nicer” ones. But let’s be realistic. The vast majority of middle class or even upper middle class families with aging parents CANNOT AFFORD to age in place!! [/quote] This!!! A good facility runs 10-15K (depending upon level of care needed). At home care is easily $30-45/hour if not higher. That is 20K+ per month. And someone has to manage that care, and what happens if someone doesn't show up on time or at all? That doesn't happen in a facility. [/quote]
