When I Get Old ...

Anyway they cost money that most people may not have anyway. I don't think it's that easy to get Medicaid to pay.

The final month or so of my step-father's life in the care facility nearly bankrupted my father. Combined with the loss of income from step-dad's death, he basically has become homeless - he sold his home just today.

My Dad did "everything right" - he had savings, some home equity, didn't live a luxurious lifestyle.

If he had no family, he'd be doomed.
