[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a relative with 24/7 home care and they’re spending north of $350,000/year.[/quote] Yep. Sadly this is accurate. My aunt is bedridden but won’t go to a nursing home. She is of sound mind so she can’t be overruled. She has someone come in during the daytime but is alone all night because she realized her money would run out. She doesn’t qualify for any assistance. She has been lucky to afford the care she does have but her funds are dwindling and she really needs more help, not less. It makes me feel awful. I worry something will happen at night. And I worry that one day DH and I will be in the same boat. We could never afford it. [/quote]
