If the NH charges $3,500/month and the resident's income = $4,000/month, hey no problem. The only thing to negotiate is what happens when rates go up.
But if the income =$2,500 and the NH costs $4,000, then something else has to fill the gap.
What usually fills the gap is either selling assets, or Medicaid. Does your parent have assets in addition to income? Have you looked at applying for Mecicaid?
