They said court will not come after me if she can not cover her part of rent and there is arrears. I do not want to sign this paper that I am responsible for 'xcess' rent.' They tell me not to worry but they need a third party person. Mom is 97. What am I responsible for if I sign this?
Can you say a little more about your mother's situation? Are you her primary caregiver? Is she living alone? Who's her landlord? Is she receiving support from any social services providers?
I am 72 and wanting to leave work soon. I do not know what happens when I may not be able to pay my share.
Often elder housing / living situations require for the participants to pay almost all of their monthly income - like your moms SS - as their copay. Is this the situation?
