Sorry Smed. This is a rough spot, for a while.

Prayers your way Smed. Your Dad is fortunate to have you looking out for him and all the best to you.

The numbers being mentioned in this thread are pretty scary. I know the last thing some of us old people want is to be a burden to our children.

Prayers and strength to you and your family.

I lost both parents pretty young, Dad at 57 and Mom at 60, both from cancer. Watching your parents suffer and die a miserable death is not pleasant.

Be strong for as much as possible, take time to grieve and try to find moments to laugh to keep your stress in check.

Hope you can make this as painless as possible.

I was in the insurance business for years back in the 80's and 90's and always tried to get my clients to carry nursing home insurance.

Every time I hear politicians lobby for increasing the minimum wage, I think about seniors that need care. 24x7 in-home care in CA costs $25K/month.

I'm in the business of helping families to find assisted living and memory care and costs have risen by a lot since covid, and it's harder then ever to find caregivers. It's not a racket at all, and lower cost communities do exist, but you get what you pay for.

Yeah its a racket, most of these homes are absolutely ruthless and I've heard it time and again from retiree friends with family in homes... they want the deed to your home, everything you own, and your soul on top of it all

And they'll follow all of that up by treating grandma like shit

Many nursing homes run on 2-3% profit margins. 24/7 licensed staff care is expensive, not to mention the supplies and overhead provided by the business.

In home care is usually 2-3x the cost and the most expensive option.

Many nursing home residents are on Medicaid because they cannot afford the care themselves. Medicaid currently pays facilities 15-30% UNDER the cost to actually care for the patient. If you actually cared about facilities being able to provide better care, you would vote so that the government stops cutting Medicaid funding for care.
