"I've been working through my father's (he's 81) long term health.
He has decided to "buy in" to an extended care facility in California, near Fairfield. His worry is becoming a burden on my sisters and myself. He will start living in a single unit house and then move into progressively higher levels of care as he requires it.
He moves next month. I did not pry into the financial's, but it is clear to me that there is a business case that works, at least for this particular facility. He traveled the country for six weeks looking at various facilities and settle on this one.
I'll post more when I learn more."
Went through this with my Father last year before he died. The nursing homes will take all his money before finally accepting Social Security. Fortunately or unfortunately, he died before they got the chance.
It's sad. When you've lost control of your brain; they basically feed you, wash and clothe you and stick you in front of a TV all day with others like you. And for that you pay a lot.
