[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571225, member: 1514"] Oh she isnt in a nursing home yet? I thought she was. What about a rest home which is the step right below it? They live in a family home but there are nurses on staff and she would have her own doctor. They also have community meals fixed for them daily. That is the care Tony's grandmother was in for her entire life. She never got to the point of needing nursing home care because she went into the hospital and died before going into a nursing home. However with your aunts dementia she may qualify for the dementia wing of a nursing home before actually needing the care of a nursing home. Might be something to look into. However one of those other nursing homes I was talking about on the other threads...the Methodist one...actually has assisted living cottages on their grounds. I find it so very hard to believe my little town has a better selection of homes than you can find...lol. I have told Tony I want to go into one of those little cottages soon....lmao. Im just waiting a few more years. 60 sounds good. As far as payment for her medication, isnt it covered under her insurance? She has to have met her deductibles by now for everything by this time of year and I am sure you have her on some type of Medicare Advantage plan which would pick up her extra 20%. She might have a copay but if it falls under part B, it should be less than if she is in the donut hole. [/QUOTE]
