[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that you should be mad at your sister. This is not her problem. She is not required to provide this free care to your mom. It has been 5 years. That is a good run. It is also not your problem, really. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at your mom (it is hard because she is the one who is sick, but we know everyone gets old) for not anticipating this and making sure she had enough money to support her at the end. She must have money if she bought into a CCRC. Whoever has POA should use her money to pay for care. The CCRC should have names of organizations that can take on the task of taking mom to appointments. What I see often is that the children want to preserve the estate, in anticipation of inheriting the money. So they benefit from the free labor of the sibling who took on the responsibility of doing the job of caring for mom/dad. [/quote]
