[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It boggles my mind that people want to protect their parents' assets and condemn them to a Medicaid nursing home (if they qualify) rather than use their assets to have a decent end of life.

I get someone being forced into a Medicaid nursing home if they have no money, but that kids want to preserve the money for themselves truly astounds me at the selfishness.[/quote]

I think all LTC/skilled nursing facilities are sad and depressing so it doesn’t matter much.[/quote]

This is simply not true. If you can afford to pay for skilled nursing, they can be much better than a Medicaid bed.

Moreover, Medicaid is for poor elderly. Not elderly whose kids disperse their parents five years out from potential death.

You are awful.[/quote]

My MIL had early onset dementia, so very young.  I took care of her at our home as long as I could with no help but I couldn't do it anymore and our only option was a medicaid bed.  Sometimes it's the best of bad options.[/quote]

I'm the PP, and I agree with this entirely. I'm only addressing those kids who want to save the parent's assets for themselves vs using a parent's assets to pay for their care.  [/quote]
