[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all who responded. Mom is not mobile enough to move to Texas (!) but thanks for the laugh. My brothers, also, wouldn't be able or willing to care for her there. 
She's in a comfortable retirement home, that I  chose, and we're not moving her anywhere. I liked this post:

"Op, this should be framed as a financial question. There are fine-enough facilities that will care for her. And you can all visit. You can all spend as much time as you are able to, and still have her cared for. And live your lives. if she doesn't have much money, probably all the better, Medicaid will pay.

This is not an emotional/relationship question - not unless all of you just want to wallow in drama." 
We've wallowed enough. I think we should draw up specific tasks/timelines for each of us to do something specific and within our abilities. My brothers are flying in for Thanksgiving (it's a real financial outlay for them, and they don't have a lot of $$) and we can, I hope, talk out money, visiting, paperwork duties, and other tasks like cleaning out the house where we all grew up. Thank you, all![/quote]
