No one should have to do this. Those things should be passed down to her family members not sold so she can afford the nursing home.
My step-grandmother (dad's wifes mother) has been in an assisted living facility for a couple years now and her her entire savings is gone. She is down to only a few thousand dollars. I think her monthly 'rent' is over $4000......which is ridiculous for obvious reasons but moreso because many of the nurses are downright mean. They ignore her when she pushes the button to call them to help her. She has a broken back for god's sake and one time no nurse ever showed up and she ended up having an accident in her bed and was then scolded for it and told if she keeps 'mis-behaving' they will have to put her in a nursing home. :furious:
G-MA's is still sharp as a tack and was of course embarrassed and then to have even more of her dignity taken away by being treated like a child.....it makes me so mad. My other grandmother was in a nursing home and one or maybe more stole several pieces of jewelry from her including the necklace she had worn since my mom gave it to her some 40 yrs prior.
Something has to change.
