My mom lives in a “ locked” memory care unit due to memory loss. It costs about $8,000 per month.
I’m in healthcare and work full time. I have an adult special needs child (she lives alone and higher functioning). I’m the only child.
I want to move mom here in state where I live. I’ve taken a lot of time off to assist mom this year already (about 6wks FMLA).
The lawyer I consulted with in my state wants 5K to file Medicare documents. I don’t have any money for any of this.
Help! I don’t know what to do.
Something is very wrong with the situation with her house, I would consult with another real estate agent and find out why it's not moving.
I would not move mom into your home if it were me. Working full time and trying to find caregivers to come in every day could easily turn into a nightmare.
Wishing you the best of luck with a difficult situation
You’re in a pickle, there’s no denying. I would just really weigh doing the most for what I could afford.
Best of luck to you.
