[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 617216, member: 1514"] Terry you can have both SS and Medicaid but it all depends on the person's income. As far as telling your aunt, well you know I took care of my mom and had to have her placed in a nursing home at the end. She never had to move rooms but she did have a roommate from the beginning. If I were in your shoes I think I would ask if you could take her home one night for a visit and have her room moved while she was at your house. Have the new room set up as close to the same way her old room was set up and then I would just act like she was returning to her same room. She might wonder a bit but if she has dementia, I would just act like she was returning to her same room. If she comments on it, I would tell her that you dont understand, this is her room. Really no point in upsetting her if you can get by without it. I know my mom wouldnt have noticed if we moved her somewhere else completely but your aunt may not be quite as bad as my mom was.
