[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she won't accept "extra" help, you can tell her the helpers are in a training program and you aunt and your cousin are needed to help someone get trained.  We have done this on numerous occasions and it usually works. [/quote]

What helpers?[/quote]

The ones you hire and then tell your Aunt that they are in a training program and need to go to homes like hers to "practice" so they can get the "certificate". [/quote]

That works if Op has resources to hire and if family has resources. Help is expensive. Really expensive. And the aunt may or may not have lots of assets. Caring for a severely disabled for many years can tap out even a really wealthy person. This is a really tough situation. JSSA may have resources that can direct you to where to start looking for help. Btw, I am the pp who said that I don't want to burden my dd. I know and she knows that she will have to help her brother. My ds is not "severely disabled" and will be able to live on his own, thankfully. [/quote]

The Op has already indicated her willingness to contribute $3000 per month to the care of her Aunt. [/quote]

Where did she say that?[/quote]
