Both my mother and father spent their last years in Connecticut Nursing Homes. Did the Title 19 plan thoughtfully, as my parents were ignorant fools in planning for the finances in their final years. Their life savings went to First Class $10,000 a month assisted living and building an in law apartment for my mother, who was still active when dad could no longer take care of himself, and actually jeopardized my mothers safety.
I was impressed with teh level of care and lvoe they both recieved. My dad not so much, as he was old school punch them out at the home. He was a hard guy to like Mean and self absorbed.
MY point is that my wife and I did as much as we could to make their final years as happy as possible. MY mom's deal sucked because she had parkinsons. she still outlived her siblings by 10 or 20 years. Her will t olive was astounding.
Connecticut does a pretty good job in this area and I appreciate the compassion of all those that worked with betty. Goog God, I hope they're making good money!
