Guest guest Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Dear Group, Some of you may have noticed that I have been rather distracted lately, although to tell you the truth interacting with members has helped to take my mind off my own problems. What happened is that my Dad was placed in a nursing home. His # of nursing home days permitted on Medicare have expired. My brother, who he lived with, had not taken steps to have Dad switched to Medicaid and now it seems he is at risk of losing all his savings as well as the house they own jointly to pay the nursing home bills which keep coming. A very good lawyer has been retained and hopefully he can work his magic to keep my brother from losing everything. All I can do is hope for the best. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
