dyk my grandparents had to sign over their house to my aunt/uncle. They also signed over their van (their only assets).
dyk They had to show to medicare that they had no assets. Only then did medicare pay for someone to come to the house (a nursing aide) for my grandmother. My grandfather is half blind and couldn't lift up my grandma like an aide could.
dyk If your dad is still working and they have some assets, medicare won't pay for it.

DYK my father is there a lot; but they have encouraged him, for his own sanity, to bring in someone else.

dyk my mom came by to pick up a CD I burned for her - just as Ellie was waking up
dyk Ellie smiled, laughed and talked to my mom, very alert and happy - it was so sweet, she's just in that I wanna eat you up phase!!!
dyk but it really wears her out and if you play 5 minutes too long she starts crying and then it's hard to get her settled down
dyk I made that mistake earlier today
