I don't think any of them are very cheap.
>They need to figure out their life--not lean on me to figure it out for them.
At least in the US, there aren't a lot of options unless you're pretty wealthy. Medicare doesn't cover nursing care. Nursing homes cost around $5k a month or so last time I checked. They will literally throw them on the curb if they can't pay.

- a2tech 5y agoI know. And its not like I'm a monster, obviously I'll try and select the best elder home that matches the amount of money they have plus what I can afford. However, and this is what I was trying to humorously get through to them, I will not compromise the life my wife and I have built and worked towards to arrange care for them. Call me callous, call me cruel, but my wife and I are working towards something for ourselves. We're making our future and so should they.
