[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you as my elderly aunt needs a nursing home and refuses to go. She has a caregiver come in for 8-12 hours a day but is basically bedridden. She can use a walker with surpervision but doesn’t have the mobility to get in/out of bed or a chair without a lot of help. She can’t use the bathroom so she is in diapers. I can’t force her to go to a nursing home because she is not “incompetent” She needs 24/7 care, not 12 hours a day and has already endured multiple ER visits where I was shocked they released her home. For reference, the nursing aides that come to her home are $34/hour and the nursing home that she was in for a time was about 13k a month. Your budget isn’t high enough for either. What you should do is sell her house and use the assets to pay for her care. Once she spends down all her assets, she will qualify for Medicaid. [/quote]
