This happened to my grandfather. I remember my dad explaining that they had to basically empty all his savings in order for him to go to a nursing home. My grandfather was a painter, he didn't have all that much. I remember thinking that seemed cruel. I still think it was cruel.
Yeah, it's absolutely monstrous. My grandmother passed two days before her medicare coverage ran out and the medicaid application had to be handed in, basically saving my grandfather from it. An application that I filled out by myself with no idea what I was doing, while watching and waiting for her to die. It was a nightmare. Cursed fucking system.
