My dad went to the fridge to get a beer and his aorta exploded because there wasn't any. Dead before he hit the floor leaving my mom who deteriorated over the next 5 years refusing to admit to herself her physical and cognitive limitations. In the end it cost her $1,600/wk for 24 hour home care not including health-care costs.
She made it clear she was NOT going into 'a home' no matter the cost. That is what she did. It was terrible. Went for guardianship/conservatorship over her but she passed before it became final. What is left of her estate is now in probate.
