[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 47 and responsible for looking after my father, who is 81. Mom died 10+ years ago. Dad recently moved to assisted living, which is very $. I'm just praying he doesn't outlive his financial assets because I don't know what we would do. Since I have 2 elementary kids at home, having him live with us 24/7 would be very hard. For the time being, it's also nice that he has his own space, routine, and friends his own age. [/quote] Once the assets go, he goes into a nursing home under medicaid. Some states have money for assisted living. There is a list in MD you can put his name on but I forget how. There is about a 5 year wait (minimum).[/quote]
