[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4804272, member: 58386"] No immediate family member of mine that I know of suffered that fate. BTW however. Average cost per year for a semi private room in a skilled care nursing home?....... $86,000. . Think you'll never end up there? Quite a number of states have eldercare laws whereby if the court based on best available professional judgement says that you're better off in a nursing home..... you go to a nursing home if nobody offers a proven better solution and regardless of the fact that the move will likely exhaust your savings allowing you to join up with other nursing home patients on welfare. But don't feel bad. Nationwide 62% of your fellow patients are already on it. Might as well start figuring out how long your savings will hold out for you Bud..... because it's all simply a matter of time. Why's that? Because everybody gets old and can no longer take care of themselves. [/QUOTE]
