That's why I got the lawyer for my moms care. It was legal, of course, but he arranged it so the nursing home got all but $30 of her SS check, her assets were turned over to me, as I was now her caregiver. I don't have siblings.

Really, after I did that, everything relate to her care became much easier for me. She was also diabetic, she got better treatment for that, foot care especially. Eye exams, dntal care.

It's worth trying. Maybe hard to accept, but do try!
