In perspective... My Dad's income (SS and pension) is 3400.00 and his home health care is
$6800.00. You can see his is going through his life savings real quick.

Rap - I'm very sorry for your father and the situation. I just went thru this with my mothers Alzheimers; both as "Power of Attorney" for her finances and then executor after she passed.
So, it was a progression, but at one point: I have a sister that is a nurse that insisted mother come live with her. I paid her $3,000 a month out of my mothers accounts to my sister and then another $1,000 for a care giver to come in and relieve my sister. I had power of attorney and wrote the checks. Had my mother's money run out, we had the option to sell her house and/or a reverse mortgage.
My mother had paid on a nursing home insurance policy for 30 years. The paper was worthless, as the company had been sold many times and then went broke.
No comment on the Vet/WWII issue. It is what it is, regardless of what we all think...Best of luck......
