Unfortunately, funds from my dad's estate are nearly exhausted. It presently costs about $25,000 per month for the caregivers, housekeepers and nurses which allow her to remain at home. She will probably have to go into a nursing home in January and she isn't happy about it.
Sorry to hear that.
I hate to think of how much money my mother gave to the Catholic Church and dubious Christian "charities" out of Dad's estate. I'm guessing that it came to about $250,000. It could have been much higher. That money could have allowed her to remain at home for at least another year. She's quite bitter about the present situation and blames my brother for the lack of funds, but I refuse to get involved in the discussion.
