[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar situation with my financially irresponsible mother-in-law. She would not curb spending and we "helped" her for years with various things to the tune of thousands of dollars. She's now flat broke and in a medicaid facility. Only way the Medicaid transition went as smoothly as it did and she was able to remain in nursing care in the same facility as her independent living apartment is because we retained an Elder Law attorney who helped us navigate the process (and they accepted medicaid for her even though they typically don't). It's not ideal, but old age is expensive and you need to get things in place to rely on government benefits now unless you want to flip the bill and responsibility. If I were to invest in anything at this point it would be a consultation with an elder care attorney.[/quote]
