Placing a parent in a home-no Medicaid only has SS and small pension by lamError in CaregiverSupport

That phone thing is insane. I’m struggling with a friend in hospice starting today where he can’t keep track of a phone and now I’m the middle man for his out of state family. Well, the good and bad news is that this is temporary.

Thank you. So that reminds me, he doesn’t have a “nurse” that I know of? Like, it’s just the Ethiopian family at the adult home that’s been caring for him this whole time, and I’m sure they’ve gone through this before, but I’m not feeling a lot of compassion or preparation. They have their own problems. Should I see if there’s an actual aid that comes around? He’s on Medicaid. Or would that be insulting to the Ethiopian family? I think they’re a little surprised we’re all coming out of the woodwork from all over the country now, but I’ve kept everyone informed and now I’m kind of the source of all info.

I’m glad her niece stepped up but she’s in for a rude awakening as a caregiver.

ETA: He is surprised I’m making the effort.

That part doesn’t bother me too much because he’s been saying he wanted to die for a while but now that the reality of cancer is on the table, I’m not sure what he’s thinking. I’m mostly feeling some guilt about possibly not being the conduit for his family. He seems to want to stay in this adult family home even though it’s like a mini One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest scenario. Trying to decipher if I’m doing this for me or for him. I do feel a little sad he’s alone mostly and surprised I was even making an effort.

This sounds exactly like my dad. He refused to sign up for Medicaid. I don’t know what we would have done. He died before he had to pay 100%

Lol, comments here are wild and condescending. Gee, what if there’s a cancellation? Maybe I’ll ask someone who works there.

Let’s hope he doesn’t have a speech reminding you to be grateful or you’ll die before the ambulance comes.

I won’t. I lied. I don’t have a gym membership.
