The place gets almost 5000 a month and the food well its not good or healthy or good period. I am moving her myself with help of family, my Moms income is steady and is 7000 a month. She keeps crying poor with nearly 400000 in assets . She has spent almost 160000 living at this place for just 3 years. When she fell heart attac kin her room could not reach cord on wall and lay for 3 hours till help came. I hate the place and the food I feel bad weak and tired after a week of this crap. I turned down a job to help her and missed out on 3000 last week because I was here in LA moving her, is it wrong to want our cost of travel and compensation for lost wages? I have taken and paid things rather than hear about and go through how broke she is and if she has any money left, her morgage is 1500 saving her a 3200 a month she has had,,,I dont want to be ungreatful but I have given up my life as I should for her.
Good luck,
Carol
ALthough 400large seems like a huge amount of money, at some point she will run out of $$$ you will run out of steam in caregiving and mom will need to go into a facility. And Medicaid will be applied for to pay for her stay there. You have to be legally prepared for this so that you either are fully compliant with Medicaid requirements and minimize any "transfer penalty" that could apply to her income.
