[quote=Anonymous]My mom had only Social Security and literally zero assets and we managed to get her her own apartment. It is a LOT of work but you have to get your mom on EVERY wait list possible for senior subsidized housing. If it’s gonna break your family, just go ahead and spend down her 60k as well. If you can get her a studio for 1K, you’re talking YEARS of independence. Don’t save that money. She’s gonna have to go in Medicaid for a nursing home anyway so might as well spend it now. She may die at 80 and not even spend it all. Stop being a martyr. This is not working. With full social security and all those assets, she is not destitute. (fWIW, my mom lived in Fairfield County, CT, with rent prices akin to the greater DC area. Her entire monthly income was around $1300. Senior housing is the key( [/quote]
