[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The costs of private care are nearly impossible. How does anyone afford $8-10,000 a month for ten years?? [/quote] Most don’t. They end up struggling to manage on their own until a fall or hospitalization lands them in a nursing home. They private pay for a few months until the money runs out, and end up on Medicaid wherever will take them. The [i]reality of aging in this country is extremely depressing[/i]. [/quote] Truly curious: what is the reality of aging in any other country? Families just take care of aging and infirm elders on a rotating cycle? How on earth does anyone actually live their life? My mom passed many years ago, now, and her husband was with her. My dad is not aging well - and he an I were estranged since I left home at 18. My sister still lives near him and he basically guilts her - wants to move in with her, etc. Personally, I think he made his bed - but my poor sister can't seem to escape. [/quote]
