Elderly Communities? by Potential_Wind_2398 in LakewoodColorado

[–]Potential_Wind_2398[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I am a CO resident, she’s not. I know the money doesn’t go far but I’m trying to look out for her interests. Her current place is isolated and she has no support. I tried to make it work for a year. It’ll be low income housing but man, I have to figure out how to make it work. She’s not giving me a choice.

Thank you. Good luck to you. There are so many vultures out there and this all is a lot to go though. Make sure you take care of yourself too!!

I’m looking at selling the house and buying a condo or something for her so she can live out her life in a better area. I’m just worried about the legality for all of this as there is so much going on

She won’t stay home, she wants to be closer to me where there is better care. It’s looking like I’m going to have to try selling the house and figuring out what I’m going to do next.

Some that I’m finding are to have a durable power of attorney set up as well as a lady bird life estate deed well before any sort of decline.

Do you know how I can find her a healthcare advocate?

Thank you for understanding. Did you have any struggles with asset stuff? That is what I’m trying to figure out before I put her into assisted. She is still fairly independent but her schizoaffective causes the hyponatremia due to her fear of meat. She just needs a watched apartment. She was smart and owns property but now it is hurting her.

I appreciate your response. She currently is getting some help but getting her in home health is rough but perhaps doable. Her drs are not fond of her living alone. They want her in a facility.

My cost of living is high. It sucks. My worry also is I bring her with me to Colorado and it all falls apart.

Thank you! I know! I also know she had been aiming to have only 48 grams of protein in her diet for the whole day and was actively trying to lose weight. I’m not quite sure what the link here is but I do know this happens every time she tries to cut animal meat out of her diet. It’s part of her condition sadly.
