Brought my 78 year old sister to Florida from NY nursing facility about 3 yrs. ago when rest of family did not want to deal with her. Found out she was a hoarder among other medical issues. Got POA and found her a nursing facility to treat her medical issues because spouse and I did not have the abilities to do so. We visit her about once a month and ensure all her needs are taken care of and I get periodic calls from facility on her progress or degrees. It was not easy at first because no one likes to have to commit a relative for any reason but as time went on she became ok with it and continues to be as well as can be. She has Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare which covers most of what she does. There is no other income so we deal with it. Yes I can relate to what many of you have to say and welcome with any questions I can help to answer.
