  • My Great Grandma

    NOTHING IS YET CONFIRMED, but, I am concerned.

    My Uncle (my GG's son) is thinking of putting my GG in a nursing home. WHY you may ask; because, it's getting too expensive to pay the caretaker (who IS FANTABULOUS at her job!!) and it's a toll on him to go out to see his mom 2-3 times a week when he also has a sick wife. (Not as sick as my Great Gram, though.)

    I know you may be thinking "It's expensive to put her in a nursing home". ....Not if it's a state nursing home, where her retirement/insurance will pick up the bill. ...AND, since it's not privately owned, you get what you pay for. Like a friend said, "Oh, so she can be [sexually] molested." I wasn't even thinking about that. I was thinking of her getting the hell beat out of her.

    My Aunt and my Great Uncle are going to talk tomorrow, and HOPEFULLY he'll consider against it, but, please pray that he wont do this. She wasn't found wandering in Lebanon 90+ years ago for her to be abused in every concievable way in a nursing home.

    Thank you.

    Thats sad...and it's strange too, I've never heard of a Armenian considering putting a relative in a nursing home. I hope things work out hun.

        Oh no, it IS the Armenian Great Grandma, the one after whom I was named (though, it's not an Armenian name)...and her son is 100%, but, he married an otar and has admitted he never really hung around with the Armenians.

        BUT, anyway, this has been tabled until after the first of the year. I'll post more on it soon, but, I'm just so tired tonight.

          That sucks. I hope it all works out.

          But if I were going to put my great grandmother in a nursing home, I'd at least put her in a nice private home. Sure it might be expensive, but as was already alluded to, you get what you pay for. Those public places are crap.

                  I haven't been to a wedding there in a long time.

                  How was it? Did your cousin marry an Armenian, Mr. anti-mixing?

                    Re: My Great Grandma

                    ANYWAY, this has been tabled until after the New Year. My Aunt is claiming my Great Uncle cannot afford to keep my GG in her own house anymore, and that a nursing home would somehow be cheaper. They were talking about a state-owned nursing home, but, there's no such thing as state-owned nursing homes. There's state-FUNDED nursing homes, but, those are expensive as well. The thing is with those, the insurance or retirement or medicare would pick up my GG's bill. My friend, whose mom is a nurse, told me about Circuit Breaker Status. It's something that my GG can apply for because she's not making a lot of money (I don't know if she's above the limit for that), BUT, if she qualifies for Circuit Breaker Status (which I told my Aunt & Great Uncle about), property tax and other taxes may be lessened.

                    Family contributions -- there's a few lawsuits happening in my family right now that MAY not make this possible, but, it hasn't been brought up to all family members involved.
