[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 579257, member: 13542"] TIA, I'm sorry for your situation. Were either your mother in law or father in law in the service? If so, there is a stipend given to Vets which is actually substantial and helps with the costs at certain Assisted Living facilities. If you need more info, there is an org. that assists Vets in obtaining benefits, if this pertains to them PM me and I'll give you the information, this org cuts through the bureaucratic red tape for you. Also, if the time is near where either one will require the care of Hospice, Hospice, at least here where I am, has administrative people who can act on your behalf to coordinate the care with not only the hospital but nursing homes and how that works out with the income level your in-laws are at. I knew a woman who became incapacitated like your mother in law, owned a home and although she was not in the 'legal' requirement to have Hospice, (where Dr's believe the patient has 6 months to live) she was clearly on her way to dying, so her Dr. worked with Hospice to allow her the opportunity to get all the care they provide which included the expertise to work quickly through the system to get her into a nursing home. And, her house did not have to be sold, it was not impacted, in fact, it was left to her relatives after her eventual death. There are ways to get through all of that, where you may not have to sell the property, but you have to find someone who will assist you. There may also be senior organizations where you live which will help you walk through the process, we have those here in CA. which are specifically to help walk you through this. You can begin by asking your father in law's Dr's, nurses etc. as well, it may require some digging on your part, but if you do your research, you'll find answers. [/QUOTE]
