[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two words: Vinson Hall.  If you are a military family, you have it made.  The condos are relatively cheap (if you are old, but do not require much care), and the care in the care facility part is outstanding.  It is a damn shame that such a small segment of the population is allowed this level of care.

My friend's MIL is there, and it is night and day compared to regular, very day type care facilities that you and I can afford. There are tons of different military retirement facilities, this is just one example. [/quote]

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it looks like the pricing is like $300 per day for the cheaper units there so about $9,000 per month.  I'm not sure I would call that cheap.[/quote]

You buy the condo you live in, presumably with proceeds from the sale of a house. Not that different than other non medicaid facilities, except you own (or your family owns) a condo, when you die.  The next person on the list then buys your condo. [/quote]

The nursing home refuses to show me the full bill but I believe medicaid pays about $12K, so private pay may be more.  That doesn't include a lot of extras either.  They bill medicaid for every little thing possible so they are easily getting $14-18K a month from medicaid PLUS my MIL social security which is $1000K a month.[/quote]
