[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 252186, member: 84"] Janet, that's just it. We're not so sure. She had GM stock that took a major plunge during that last stock market dive......and she lost a ton. She has father in law (deceased) retirment benefits.....I think.....I dunno because after the stocks took a dive we had to switch her insurance thru GM and now I dunno what's going on with the retirement. I know she used to have alot of CDs......but how much of that has now been used we don't know. I think these are things husband's brother hopes to find out via POA while they're here. Honestly, I don't think she has much except the house left. She'd have been fine except that stock dive did her in. She doesn't qualify for medicaid at all at this point. Too many "assets". But I could see what little she probably has left being used up in a couple of months. Marcie [B]thanks[/B] for that link. I'll give it to sister in law too.:happy: Assisted living has gone up around here to average 6000.00 a month.:surprised1: This is according to sw at the hospital. Last time we'd checked into it the fee was 4000 a month....that was just 2 yrs ago. mother in law would have to sell the house to swing it........and at that rate the money would run out fast. And worse........she can't come live with either children's family because husband's brother and wife live in a small apartment.......and I still have a houseful of kids. Even grown grandkids have no way to take her in. I don't blame her a bit for wanting to go home. That's what makes it so hard. I told my kids when I get to that point I might just "accidently" take a little to much of a medication and go peacefully and quietly at home. sigh [/QUOTE]
