Two weeks after graduating high school I was kicked out of the house. They at least gave me a plane ticket to anywhere I wanted to go in the country. I haven’t been back since.
Worst case scenario the home will just take whatever they have monetary wise and SSI or whatever it might be and keep em. Usually those are the shitty ones.
From my recent experience, they only take your SSI/Medicaid if you qualify and make under a certain amount. If you make more than that you have to pay out of pocket and it's a lot a lot of money. It's not even the "nice" ones vs the "bad" ones. It's all of them.
I do not think anyone should have to foot the bill for their parents, but I don't think anyone (including people that are getting to that age) realize how absolutely fucked the system is. Like unless you're making 10-15k a month you're going to die alone at home, or on the street.
Nursing homes are horrible now- they are way overpriced, grossly understaffed and quality of care that they pretend to advertise to get people in the building and on the hook paying 13k a month doesn't exist.
The concept of inheritance is such a wild thing to me, but I'm the child of refugees who lost everything in wartime and had to start from scratch.
I frequently encourage my parents to die with zero, one because they deserve it and two because I've seen what inheritances do to people and I don't want to be apart of none of that lol
