[quote=Anonymous]My dad is in a Medicaid nursing home and hates it. It’s not a luxury place by any means, but I would describe it as adequate. He tells me every day that he would like to move back to my place and have a home caregiver. Unfortunately there is a 7 year waitlist for Medicaid home caregivers and he cannot afford one out of pocket. Would I want (or want my DH or kids) to stay where he’s staying? Absolutely not. But I’m not jeopardizing my own retirement planning to pay for something better. He squandered his 7 figure nest egg on women after he left my mom and quit working at 50. I need to have plenty of money so that if my spouse or I need expensive end-of-life care, we can afford it and not be a burden to our kids. I feel guilty sometimes but I have to think about my family and myself first.[/quote]
