[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Met with her AL today to go over her new monthly charges and good thing I did because they conveniently forgot about the $400 monthly discount they gave us till sept 2022.  Boy you have to stay on top of everything, especially when dealing with elderly care companies who think their customers are in Lalaland. 
 Had a long hard talk with her to get her on board telling  my brothers what she wants. She was tough as nails  today and literally said, “it’s my money and I will do what I want with it and if they don’t like it they can suck it!”. :shock:  Holy macaroni I never knew my mom had such a potty mouth.  I told her about the one brother who plans on moving into her home and she said, “what!!, sure, he can sell his home and his gf can sell her home and that will give them enough to buy my home”.  She’s brilliant.

I texted the brother who handles her bank accts what the new monthly charges  will be and he just replied, “ok I’ll use her acct with the 300k balance”.   :shock:  That alone plus her monthly income will pay for almost 6 yrs of  care without touching any of her assets.  I also talked to my other brother and he was actually calm and agreeable as well.  I guess they both googled POA.  :wink:

I’m so relieved and can finally breath again. I never wanted to go through a contentious battle with them over this. Family is everything and my mom would be heartbroken if her children were estranged.

The best part about today was when my mom told me she didn’t want to go back to her home and how much she misses her new friends at her AL. I busted out crying because it was like pulling teeth getting her to even think about leaving her home.  I knew with her personality and love of people she would thrive in an AL community vs sitting home chain smoking in seclusion.  She just needed to give it a chance.  Happy days..
