to you and everyone who has replied, I feel a little less alone.

Interestingly, the last place I called was the best one so far. The secretary is also a caretaker (they take turns running the place) and she and I were talking about how my dad has all these great stories to tell and she said something about "celebrating" peoples' lives and experiences...that was the ringer for me.
She also said they would work with us and the VA to get more help and discount the rates....as well as medicare.

Sister is working on the money/pile of BILLS that dad hasn't been able to handle. and making sense of that. as well as getting us both in to see the lawyer. Luckily the same one who drew up the family trust is still around. Dad sis a LOT of saving and stashing stocks etc...but he also managed to "hide" a lot of it, and hopefully we will be able to find some liquid assets before my house goes on the block. (my teens have moved out and I'm in a 3bd2ba...so yeah, I could stand to downsize I suppose but it's not gonna happen before spring)

ugh...I just gotta get through one step at a time...
:hugs:
