It's kind of a rant post. The nursing home where my grandmother is at called me this morning about the payments. Does it look like I have money growing out of my ears? 1. I have not gotten the guardianship until I get my court date next month which is TBA yet 2. They should understand the situation once the guardianship starts they will be paid on time until what ever happens down the road. I did agree to at least give $1,000 out of my pocket on Thursday that's the least I can do. This is making me want to scream. I'm doing all I can and it gets worst by the minute. The healthcare system is a joke in this country I'm just appalled.
Does Guardianship in your state allow the Guardian to access and manage assets? Be certain you will have authority to accomplish what is necessary.
Talk with an Elder Law Attorney now, to plan your role as fiduciary for your grandmother, and prepare for Medicaid eligibility. Rather than pay out of pocket for care, your grandmother may be eligible for Medicaid.
