Why would I need to prove that? Since getting his pacemaker he's a spry 84. And he'll only go into some facility if he needs 24/7 care which at the moment doesn't look likely soon. Think he may live into his 90's. You really shouldn't worry so much about nursing homes.
That's good I don't know about your state but in my state health officials believe that a person is not properly being cared for they can go to court and ask for a court order to remove the person take them to a skilled nursing facility.
Now all it takes is for the emergence of just one unexpected medical condition. My mother was fine at 90 until one examination discovered a tiny but malignant brain tumor located in a place where they couldn't get at it surgically . She lived for 7 months and the last 3 weren't worth living.
Parkin's disease is neurodegenerative disease and it's hereditary. Our maternal grandfather had it and today I have both a brother and a cousin with it. The brother is in a nursing home and with his 21 day full and 100 day partial Medicare benefits exhausted it's on all him at $325 a day until his savings, are exhausted and if he outlives his savings he goes on Medicaid. Fortunately for him he has no personal residence or other real estate to turn over to the nursing home to be sold to pay for his care. That will make the process easier. Oh yeah $2500 in economic value in all forms is what you have to be down to in order to qualify.
