I'd like to know what this actually means. Where did the money come from? Was her grandmother destitute and so the money was pooled from other family members? Was this debt that her grandmother accumulated that was written off when she died? Or, was this paid out of her grandmother's retirement funds?
- oaktrout 4y agoAgree. Also, was that the cost of hospice or of all her medical care? If you're including rent in the cost, did grandma have a home that she sold? Would she have been paying that much in rent anyway if she wasn't sick? Would it have been cheaper if she didn't live in one of the nations more expensive cities?
- ejb999 4y ago>> it cost our family $145,613.79 I would be willing to wager that the 'cost' was in a reduced inheritance.
- irrational 4y agoThat was my thought. It’s not their family’s money. Assuming the grandmother even gave the money to her family in her will, it is hers to do with while she is alive. That includes using it to pay for her end of life care.
