[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insisting on being paid makes no sense. What is the situation? Who is the POA? Who did mom decide (with their agreement) to handle these things? Pay the facility to do the medication and other things.[/quote] It sounds like there is an element of consistency and trust by having OP do the laundry and medications and other small things. It makes sense to me to pay OP the cost that otherwise would have gone to the facility. Then the work gets done, OP's mom is happy (or at least less agitated), OP is compensated for her time and for going above and beyond. Otherwise yes, I think it's wise to spend down her estate on her care. You can't get blood from a stone, so just take your siblings out of the equation. The most equal way for you all to provide care for her is to spend the estate down. [/quote]
