holy crap, i had no idea my dad was so crazy. kuakina hospital finally sent him to a nursing home on the pali and it seemed like a nice place. he had his own room and private bathroom. three meals a day and multiple activities throughout the day, sounds pretty sweet for an oldie. well, after we all left, i got a call from the head nurse that my dad had tried to escape!!! WTF. well, he was being so annoying and wild, he broke a window and they had no choice but to kick him out. GG father.
during that time, i had to meet an attorney regarding my dad's medicaid qualifications and the reverse mortgage and how to be able to keep the apartment at least. shit, lawyers are fucken expensive. just for the process of transferring deeds, the power of attorneys, medicaid forms and etc will cost a flat rate of $15,000. YES, FIFTEEN GRAND!!! like, seriously, wtf. but this could go in our favor in the end since they practically have a 100% success rate with medicaid but now the only challenge is getting my dad on board. the lawyer was so great at explaining everything and i feel so much more educated in this and it gave me peace of mind knowing how to overcome these challenges. besides the hurdle of getting my dad coverage, i have to worry about how the heck am i gonna pay off the apartment once my dad goes into a home....whenever that would be. i found out he's actually not opposed to the thought of a nursing home but just that particular one. i don't understand because my aunty is staying at their sister location so they're pretty much the same company. weird.
the situation is much more complicated that i could express into words but i'm confident things will work itself out. this is a great learning experience but it sucks how it's happening and it's so early on.
no one ever said life is easy...
